What is fahrenheit?

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. It is commonly used in the United States and a few other countries.

On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees. The scale is divided into 180 equal parts between these two points.

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula (F - 32) x 5/9.

Although Celsius is the most commonly used temperature scale worldwide, Fahrenheit is still used in some fields such as weather forecasting in the United States.
