Temperature_(Delisle) = (212 - Temperature_(Fahrenheit)) × 5 / 6

Fahrenheit unit in Temperature

The Fahrenheit scale was introduced by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. It defines the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees, both under standard atmospheric pressure. While its use is primarily concentrated in the United States and a few Caribbean nations, it is the standard for everyday weather forecasts, household heating, and cooking temperatures. The scale's narrower degree range allows for more precise temperature readings in these applications, making it particularly useful in fields like meteorology and industrial processes.

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.
