Delisle (°De): A Historical Temperature Scale

The Delisle scale, denoted as °De, was developed by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in the 18th century. This scale is unique in that it measures temperature in reverse; higher temperatures correspond to lower degree values. Although it has fallen out of common use, the Delisle scale remains a point of interest in the history of thermometry and the development of temperature measurement systems.

Celsius (°C): The Metric Temperature Standard

The Celsius scale, symbolized as °C, is a metric temperature scale widely used around the world. It sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C under standard atmospheric conditions. This scale is integral in daily life, weather forecasting, and scientific research. The Celsius scale is directly related to the Kelvin scale, with a conversion formula of K = °C + 273.15, facilitating seamless transitions between the two systems.
