Description

Fahrenheit (°F): The Imperial Temperature Scale

The Fahrenheit scale, denoted as °F, is primarily used in the United States and its territories. Developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century, this scale sets the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F. The Fahrenheit scale is commonly used in weather forecasts, cooking, and other everyday applications in regions where it is the standard.

Kelvin (K): The Absolute Temperature Scale

The Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature, named after the British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Unlike other temperature scales, Kelvin starts at absolute zero, the point where molecular motion ceases. This scale is pivotal in scientific research, especially in physics and chemistry, as it provides an absolute reference point for temperature measurements. The Kelvin scale is widely used in scientific contexts, including thermodynamics, astronomy, and cryogenics.
