Réaumur (°Ré): The 18th Century French Temperature Scale

The Réaumur scale, symbolized as °Ré, was introduced by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in the early 18th century. It sets the freezing point of water at 0°Ré and the boiling point at 80°Ré. This scale was widely used in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, for several decades. While it has been largely replaced by the Celsius scale, the Réaumur scale remains a significant part of the history of thermometry.

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.
