The main difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius is their relative values for both the freezing points and boiling points. This causes all other temperature points on the thermometer to be different as well. Celsius is considered a world standard because of its ease of use. However, a significant number of countries still operate on the Fahrenheit system for many applications, such as weather information and cooking. It should be noted that the reference to freezing and boiling is for water. | |

Celsius is a scale and unit of measurement for temperature. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death. The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval, a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty. The unit was known until 1948 as centigrade. | Fahrenheit is the temperature scale proposed in 1724 by, and named after, the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736). Today, the temperature scale has been replaced by the Celsius scale in most countries, but it remains the official scale of the |
