Delisle unit in Temperature

The Delisle scale, introduced by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732, is unique in that its temperature values decrease as the temperature increases, making it an inverted temperature scale. Water freezes at 150 degrees and boils at 0 degrees on this scale. The Delisle scale was used primarily in Russia during the 18th century, particularly in astronomy and other scientific fields. Though it is no longer in common use, the Delisle scale is noted for its historical significance and its unique approach to temperature measurement, offering insights into the development of scientific thought in the early modern period.

Celsius unit in Temperature

Celsius is a temperature scale widely used across the globe, particularly in scientific research, education, and most daily temperature measurements. Named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, the scale is based on the phase changes of water under standard atmospheric conditions, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point of water and 100 degrees marking the boiling point. The Celsius scale is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is preferred in most countries, offering a straightforward metric system integration, especially for scientific purposes.
