Φαρενάιτ is a temperature scale named after the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who introduced it in the early 18th century. On this scale, the freezing point of water is set at 32 degrees, while the boiling point is at 212 degrees, creating a 180-degree interval between these two key temperatures. The Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the United States and a few Caribbean nations for everyday temperature measurements. It is often seen in weather forecasts, cooking, and heating systems, providing a familiar reference for many people in these regions.
