The History of Temperature Scales
The History of Temperature Scales
Temperature measurement became accurate in the 1700s when scientists began developing reliable thermometers.
• Fahrenheit scale (°F) was created in 1724 by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. He based zero on a salt-water mixture and body temperature near 96°F.
• Celsius scale (°C) was introduced by Anders Celsius in 1742. It originally had 0° as boiling and 100° as freezing — later reversed.
• Kelvin (K) was developed in 1848 by Lord Kelvin for scientific use. It starts at absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature where molecular motion stops.
Kelvin is now the official SI (International System) temperature unit used in physics and space science.

Before digital thermometers:
• Mercury and alcohol glass thermometers
• Bimetallic strips (used in old thermostats)
• Infrared radiation thermometers
• Gas thermometers (used in scientific labs)
Your calculator uses standard international conversion equations used in laboratories worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why are there three temperature scales?
They were created in different countries and eras for different purposes — daily life, weather, and scientific research.
Q2: Why does Kelvin not use degrees (°)?
Kelvin is an absolute scale starting from absolute zero, so it’s written as K, not °K.
Q3: Which scale is most accurate?
All are accurate — they just use different reference points. Scientists prefer Kelvin.
Q4: Why does water freeze at 0°C but 32°F?
Because the scales use different zero points and interval sizes.
Q5: Is Kelvin used in weather reports?
No, Kelvin is mainly for science. Weather uses Celsius or Fahrenheit.
