The true story behind the Fahrenheit zero is not known. There are two main candidates: one is that it was the lowest temperature recorded in his home town, Danzig (Gdansk). If the lowest temperature is 0 then you would not require negative numbers to record such temperatures. However, he had to be able to reproduce this temperature for calibration. So, the second story has it that this is the lowest temperature that can be attained using brine. He used ice, water and ammonium chloride.

Which temperature water change to ice?
32degrees Fahrenheit or zero degrees Celsius
180 degrees below zero Celsius is what temperature Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit (F) = Celsius x 5/9 + 32. Accordingly, 180 below zero Celsius equals in Fahrenheit -180x 5/9 + 32. The result is -68 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the state of Washington the highest recorded temp. was 118 degrees Fahrenheit above zero and the lowest recorded temp. was 48 degeees Fahrenheit below zero. What is the difference in temperature?
118-48=70
What has a temperature of -4000 Fahrenheit?
Nothing is that cold. There is a limit of coldness, which is called Absolute Zero. Anything that is colder than that, isn't matter anymore. The coldest temperature is −459.67 Fahrenheit (−273.15 Celsius)
Absolute zero is O Kelvin. What is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale and on the Fahrenheit scale?
On Celsius it's (-273.15 degrees), on Fahrenheit it's (-459.67 degrees).
If a temperature is 32 Fahrenheit what is it in Celsius?
Zero C
What is the Celsius temperature if the Fahrenheit temperature is 32?
Zero Celsius
If the temperature is 32 degrees fahrenheit what is the temperature celsius?
Zero C
What Celsius temperature is 32 Fahrenheit?
Zero C
If a temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit what is it in Celsius temperature?
Zero degrees Celsius.
What temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is absolute zero?
-459.67 F
What temperature is numerically Fahrenheit twice as much as Celsius?
zero
How was the Fahrenheit scale derived?
They used the coldest place that they could find at the time and they made that zero. Then they took the temperature of human blood and made that 100.
A temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit what is the Celsius temperature?
32 degrees Fahrenheit = 0 degrees Celsius.32 degrees Fahrenheit = 0 (zero) degrees Celsius
What is Temperature at absolute zero?
-- Zero Kelvin-- minus 273.15 Celsius-- minus 459.7 Fahrenheit
Who discovered the Fahrenheit?
The Fahrenheit scale was created by Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724. There are several stories about how Fahrenheit came up with the thermometer. He supposedly made a thermometer and stuck it in a snowbank on a very cold day to get a zero and took someone's temperature to get 100.
What temperature is absolute zero in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Absolute zero is defined as 0K on the Kelvin scale and as -273.15° on the Celsius scale. This equates to -459.67° on the Fahrenheit scale.
