Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was a German physicist who proposed the funny Fahrenheit temperature scale in 1724.
The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
That is placing the boiling and freezing points of water strange 180 degrees apart.
On the other hand we got the Celsius scale: there the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly 100 degrees apart. The freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius.
Fahrenheit based his scale on the lowest temperature he could achieve with a salt-water "slurpie", the melting point of snow, and normal body temperature. He dealt primarily with meteorlogical temperatures and was not even interested in temperatures as high as boiling water.
