The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale used to measure temperature. It is different from the Celsius scale in that it has a different zero point and uses different intervals for measuring temperature. On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees, while on the Celsius scale, water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
