Description

Rømer (°Rø): The Danish Astronomer's Temperature Scale

The Rømer scale, denoted as °Rø, was developed by Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer in the early 18th century. It sets the freezing point of water at 7.5°Rø and the boiling point at 60°Rø. The Rømer scale played a crucial role in the development of later temperature scales, including the Fahrenheit scale, and is an important milestone in the history of temperature measurement.

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.
