The
Fahrenheit
Scale The
Fahrenheit
scale
is
a
temperature
measurement
{ %浏览更多 十二星座运势知识关注 :111星座网,Www.111dK.COm ）〕system
developed
by
a
German
physicist
named
Daniel
Gabriel
Fahrenheit
in
the
early
18th
century.
It
is
widely
used
in
the
United
States
and
some
Caribbean
countries. On
the
Fahrenheit
scale,
water
freezes
at
32°F
and
boils
at
212°F
under
normal
atmospheric
pressure.
This
means
that
there
are
180
equal
divisions
between
the
freezing
and
boiling
points
of
water,
making
one
degree
Fahrenheit
equal
to
1/180th
of
the
temperature
difference
between
these
two
points. One
interesting
fact
is
that
the
Fahrenheit
scale
is
not
used
by
the
scientific
community
or
most
countries
outside
of
the
United
States.
Instead,
the
Celsius
scale,
which
is
based
on
the
freezing
and
boiling
points
of
water
at
sea
level,
is
the
standard. Despite
this,
many
Americans
still
prefer
to
use
the
Fahrenheit
scale
in
their
daily
lives,
and
it
remains
an
important
part
of
American
culture
and
tradition.
It
is
often
used
to
describe
the
weather,
with
temperatures
ranging
from
below
freezing
(32°F)
to
scorching
hot
(over
100°F). In
conclusion,
the
Fahrenheit
scale
may
not
be
the
most
widely
used
temperature
measurement
system
today,
but
it
still
holds
a
special
place
in
American
society.
From
baking
recipes
to
weather
reports,
this
scale
continues
to
be
an
important
tool
for
many
Americans.
