PRESENTING: CELSIUS VS. FAHRENHEIT Ceslus va. Fahrenhel It's all hotting up for the fight of the century. (1701-1744 & 1686-1736, respectively) s0 C 0 The Celsius temperature scale was devised by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. It is based on the freezing and boiling points of water at atmospheric pressure. In Celsius' initial thermometer, o°C represented the boiling point of water and 10o°C was the freezing point of water. Celsius also coined the term "standard atmospheric pressure" y calibrating his thermometer so that the boiling point of water was o°c at mean barometric pressure at mean sea level. o! onversion Graph: Degrees Fahrenheit wasn't until 1744 that this scale was reversed by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus, who needed to monitor the temperature of his greenhouses. This gave us the freezing point of water as o°C and the boiling point as 100°C, which is the scale we use today Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit proposed his temperature scale 16 years before Celsius in 1726. The major difference is that instead of 1o0 degrees separating the freezing and boiling points of water, 180 degrees separates them. This sees the freezing point of water as 32°F and the boiling point of water as 212F at standard atmospheric pressure The Fahrenheit scale was based on three separate reference points: 1. The zero point was determined by the temperature at which ice, water and ammonium chloride stabilized. 2. The fact that ice and water stabilizes at 32°F 3. The level of the liquid when the thermometer was held in the mouth or armpit of his wife: 9 The Fahrenheit scale is popular in the Unit States, Belize and a few other countries. In most places, it has been superceded by the more logical and more metric Celsius system.
