Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit (°F) is an imperial unit of temperature, where 32°F is the freezing point of water and 212°F its boiling point under standard atmospheric conditions (1 atm).
The Fahrenheit scale was created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. He based the scale on three reference points: the freezing point of a saltwater brine, the freezing point of water, and the human body temperature.
Fahrenheit is mainly used in the United States and a few Caribbean nations, particularly for weather forecasts, cooking temperatures, and household climate control.
Kelvin
Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), representing an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero, the theoretical point where molecular motion ceases.
The Kelvin scale was proposed by physicist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1848. Unlike other temperature scales, Kelvin does not use degrees and starts at absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature.
Kelvin is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, including physics, thermodynamics, and astronomy, where absolute temperature measurements are essential.
