What are Reaumur and Fahrenheit

Definition of Reaumur

The Réaumur scale is a temperature scale named after the French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, who proposed it in 1730. One degree Réaumur is defined as one-tenth of the temperature interval between the freezing and boiling points of water. This scale has been largely replaced by the Celsius scale in most countries.

Definition of Fahrenheit

The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature measurement system proposed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point is 212 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure. This scale is still commonly used in the United States for non-scientific applications.
