Namaste, iam Shanika Studer, I hope today is better than yesterday.
Sure does! Fahrenheit is alive and well - you just don’t hear about it as much these days. It’s a temperature scale that was developed by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century, and it’s still used in some parts of the world. Wow, talk about standing the test of time! In fact, many people still prefer to use Fahrenheit over Celsius when measuring temperature. So yeah, you betcha - Fahrenheit definitely exists!
Why Does Fahrenheit Exist? [Solved]
Well, Fahrenheit was named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German scientist born in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth back in 1686. He was the one who figured out how to accurately measure temperature. Basically, he set zero as the lowest temp he could get a water and salt mixture to reach. Pretty cool, huh?
Sure does! Fahrenheit is still around - it’s the temperature scale we use here in the US. You know, like when it’s hot outside and you hear people say “it’s 90 degrees out!” That’s Fahrenheit.
