Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. Celsius (°C) sets freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C, used globally.
Daniel Fahrenheit developed his scale in 1724, based on brine and human body benchmarks. Anders Celsius introduced his scale in 1742, later inverted to its modern form.
Fahrenheit is standard in the US for weather and daily life. Celsius dominates worldwide in science, medicine, and most nations’ forecasts.
