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.

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.
