Meaning of Fahrenheit Temperature Scale

Fahrenheit Temperature Scale A thermometric scale on which the freezing point of water is at 32 F (Fahrenheit) above the 0 (F) mark on the scale, and the boiling point of water is at 212 F. The Fahrenheit temperature scale was designed by German physicist Daniel Fahrenheit and is commonly used in the United States. Contrast with the Centigrade Temperature Scale, using degrees Celsius ( C), in which 0 (C) marks the freezing point of water and 100 C indicates the boiling point of water (at sea level). The formula for converting a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius is C =5/9 x (F – 32).
