Understanding Fahrenheit and Kelvin
Fahrenheit (°F)
Imperial temperature scale
• Developed by Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724
• Water freezes at 32°F, boils at 212°F
• Primarily used in the United States
• Smaller degree increments than Celsius
• Originally based on brine freezing point
Kelvin (K)
Absolute temperature scale
• Essential for physics and chemistry
• Used in astronomy for star temperatures
• Required for gas law calculations
• Standard for scientific papers
