The Fahrenheit scale has the freezing point of water at 32 degrees Fahrenheit with the boiling point being 212 degrees Fahrenheit. He came up with the scale which is now the common unit of measuring temperature in the US. The Fahrenheit was developed by a researcher named Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.

Celsius is an acceptable unit across the globe except in the US. The word Celsius is widely accepted, replacing centigrade. However, in 1743 another scientist called Jean Pierre Christin improved the scale and reversed it to read zero at freezing point and one hundred as the boiling point of water. The astronomer came up with a measuring scale whereby zero represented the boiling point and one hundred represented the freezing point of water.

The Celsius scale is a concept named after an astronomer called Anders Celsius who lived in Sweden between 17. Both the Celsius and Fahrenheit are scales or units used for measuring temperature.
