Temperatures are measured on the Fahrenheit scale, invented by Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who proposed it in 1724. The scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, and divides the temperature range between them into 180 equal degrees (32°F to 212°F).
The name Fahrenheit is German, likely from the German verb "fahren" (to drive, to travel in a vehicle). As "heit" means "safety" a root translation could be "safe travel" (in modern German, driving safety is Fahrsicherheit).
it is a measure of temperature still used in the USA and other parts of the world. The metric measurement is celcius.
