	Degree Fahrenheit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees (this is written "32 °F"), and the boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart.
		Thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9ths of a kelvin (which is a degree Celsius), and minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to minus 40 degrees Celsius.
		Fahrenheit noted that his scale placed the freezing point of water at 32 °F and the boiling point at 212 °F, a neat 180 degrees apart.

		In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written 32°F), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart.
		Thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9ths of a kelvin (or of a degree Celsius), and -40 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to -40 degrees Celsius.
		Fahrenheit established the zero of his scale (0°F) as the temperature at which an equal mixture of ice and salt melts (some say he took that fixed mixture of ice and salt that produced the lowest temperature); and ninety-six degrees as the temperature of blood (he initially used horse's blood to calibrate his scale).

	DEGREE - Definition
		The degree of bachelor (of arts, science, divinity, law, etc.) is conferred upon those who complete a prescribed course of undergraduate study.
		The degree of a power, or radical, is denoted by its index, that of an equation by the greatest sum of the exponents of the unknown quantities in any term; thus, ax^{4} + bx^{2} = c, and mx^{2}y^{2} + nyx = p, are both equations of the fourth degree.
		{Degree of longitude}, the distance on a parallel of latitude between two meridians that make an angle of one degree with each other at the poles -- a distance which varies as the cosine of the latitude, being at the equator 69.16 statute miles.

	Fahrenheit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who proposed it in 1724.
		His measurements were not entirely accurate, though; by his original scale, the actual freezing and boiling points would have been noticeably different from 32 °F and 212 °F. Some time after his death, it was decided to recalibrate the scale with 32 °F and 212 °F being the actual freezing and boiling points of plain water.
		This resulted in the healthy human body temperature being 98.6 °F degrees rather than 96 °F. The Fahrenheit scale was widely used in many English-speaking countries until the Celsius (formerly centigrade) scale was adopted in the late 1960s and 1970s.

		Fahrenheit temperature scale, scale based on 32 degree for the freezing point of water and 212 degree for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts.
		Until the 1970s the Fahrenheit scale was in general common use in the English-speaking countries; the Celsius, or centigrade, scale was employed in most other countries and for scientific purposes worldwide.

		The date of occurrence of the last 32 degree Fahrenheit temperature (0 degrees C) observation in spring was based on the median, mean, and extreme dates of such occurrence from 30 years of daily minimum temperature values, respectively.
		The date of occurrence of the first 32 degree Fahrenheit temperature (0 degrees C) observation in autumn was based on the median, mean, and extreme dates of such occurrence from 30 years of daily minimum temperature values, respectively.
		The length of the freeze-free period was based on the difference between the median and mean dates, respectively, of the last 32 degree Fahrenheit temperature in spring (element 1) and the first 32 degree Fahrenheit temperature in autumn (element 2).

		Fahrenheit set 0 degrees at the coldest temperature he could conveniently achieve using an ice and salt mixture, and he intended to set 100 degrees at the temperature of the human body.
		1 degree Fahrenheit equals 5/9 degrees Celsius, but in converting between scales we have to be careful to adjust the zero points as well.
		To convert a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to the Celsius scale, we must first subtract 32 degrees and then multiply by 5/9.

		Another well-known version of the story, as described in the popular physics television series The Mechanical Universe, holds that Fahrenheit simply adopted Rømer's scale, at which water freezes at 7.5 degrees, and multiplied each value by 4 in order to eliminate the fractions and increase the granularity of the scale (giving 30 and 240 degrees).

	Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Réaumur, and Rankine Temperature Conversion
		Centigrade means "consisting of or divided into 100 degrees;" the Celsius scale, devised by Swedish Astronomer Andres Celsius (1701-1744) for scientific purposes, has 100 degrees between the freezing point of 0 degrees and boiling point of 100 degrees of pure water at sea level air pressure, 29.92 inches of mercury.
		On the Fahrenheit scale, used primarily in the United States, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees while measured at standard pressure.
		Zero degrees Fahrenheit was the coldest temperature that the German born scientist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit could create with a mixture of ice and ordinary salt.

	Fahrenheit temperature scale
		Fahrenheit’s successors used the boiling point of water to calibrate their thermometers, which they set at 212 degrees in order to retain the size of Fahrenheit's degree.
		Fahrenheit himself did make thermometers that could read as high as 600°F, but the largest market was for thermometers for weather observations, and on these the part of the thermometer from 130°F to 212°F would be wasted.
		I have not yet discovered by experiment whether these degrees are sufficient for the most intense heat of some fever, but it is scarcely credible that the heat of any fever should exceed the degrees I have described.

		With the new data factored in, global temperature warming trends now exceed 1.0 degree Fahrenheit per 100 years, with land temperatures warming at a somewhat faster rate.

	CONVERSIONS USING THE DOMINANT TEMPERATURE SCALES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Until we see the wonderful day when the Fahrenheit scale is abolished and all temperature records are changed to degrees Celsius, it is important to be able to convert degrees F to degrees C and vice versa.
		People who are more familiar with the Fahrenheit temperature scale understand with more clarity how a temperature of 50 degrees F or 100 degrees F feels, but do not have the understanding for how a 17 degrees C temperature or a 32 degrees C temperature feels unless they convert the Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit.
		As a side note: Although when using whole numbers the Fahrenheit scale is a more precise temperature scale, current instrumentation is precise enough to report temperatures to a tenth of a degree Celsius (a tenth of a degree Fahrenheit is bordering on being too precise unless big money is spent).
