Fahrenheit is a scale for measuring how hot or cold something is. On this scale, water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. We write the unit as °F. A healthy human body is about 98.6°F. The United States still uses Fahrenheit for weather, cooking, and fever; Taiwan and most of the world use instead. So the number you hear matters only if you know which scale is speaking. 77°F is a nice day. 77°C would be hot air. The name comes from Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a scientist, who built and set this scale. He chose his numbers from very cold mixtures and from body heat, and later the freeze-and-boil points were fixed at 32 and 212 so the gap would be a round 180 degrees. The first laboratory choices are a little tangled in the history, so remember the water numbers; they will not let you down.
組成From German Fahrenheit, named after Prussian scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.

- Pyeongchang sits nearly half a mile above sea level in the northeastern corner of South Korea, not too far from the border with the North. It is one of the coldest parts of the country — wind chill in February is often in single digits (Fahrenheit) — and notorious for a powerful, biting wind that gathers force as it barrels down out of Siberia and the Manchurian Plain and then across the jagged granite peaks of North Korea.
- For example, in the Fahrenheit scale 212°F is the boiling point of water.
