What makes more sense, a scale
where water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 - or a scale where 0 is the temperature
you reach with a mix of water, salt and ice and 32 is the freezing point if
you remove the salt? Who remembers that water boils at 212? (Who knows what
happens at 454 F?)

The Celsius Group
Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, introduced his scale is 1742.
He used the freezing point of water as 0 and the boiling point as 100. The Celsius temperature scale is part of the "metric system" of measurement (SI) and is used
throughout the world, though not yet embraced by the American public.
The temperature scale Celsius introduced was first accepted in Sweden and France. Soon, people
across the globe began using it. Celsius wasn't immortalized until 1948, when the Ninth General
Conference of Weights and Measures declared "degrees centigrade" should thereafter be referred to
as "degrees Celsius." |

The
Fahrenheit Group
On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees. Zero
Fahrenheit was the coldest temperature that the German-born scientist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit could create
when mixing water, ice and ordinary salt. Fahrenheit, no fan of "inconvenient and awkward fractions," according to his letters,
divided each degree into four parts.
Fahrenheit established three fixed points on his thermometer. Zero degrees was the temperature of
a mixture of
ice, water and salt. When he omitted salt from the slurry, he reached his second fixed point
when the water-ice combination stabilized at "the thirty-second degree." His third fixed point was
"found as the ninety-sixth degree, and the spirit expands to this degree when the thermometer is held
in the mouth or under the armpit of a living man in good health."
After Fahrenheit died in 1736, scientists calibrated his model of thermometer using 212 degrees, the
temperature at which water boils, as the upper fixed point. When the Fahrenheit thermometer was
recalibrated, normal human body temperature registered 98.6 rather than 96.
