Fahrenheit remains the official scale for the following countries and territories: the Bahamas,Belize, the Cayman Islands,Palau, and the United States and its associated territories. Everyone else uses Celsius.
Why estimate? Use this formula. Temperature Fahrenheit = Temperature Celsius(1.80) + 32
Celsius
Both scales were developed in the early 18th Century. The Fahrenheit scale was proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit. The freezing point of brine set the 0 point. 180 degrees separated the freezing point of water (32 degrees) from the boiling point (212 deg). Anders Celsius introduced the Centigrade scale in which the freezing point was 0 deg and the boiling point was 100 degrees. Centigrade was later renamed Celsius. The Celsius scale is the international standard, used by most countries and scientific communities in all countries. There are some countries, however, that have not fully adopted the Celsius scale, so the Fahrenheit scale remains in use today.
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who proposed it in 1724. Today, the scale has largely been replaced by the Celsius scale; it is still in use for non-scientific purposes in the United States and a few other countries such as Belize,[1] and is sometimes given in weather forecasts and used by older people in the United Kingdom.
We commonly use two temperature scales in daily life: Celsius and Fahrenheit. Celsius is widely used in most countries for everyday weather reports and cooking, while Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States. Both scales measure ambient temperature, but they have different reference points for freezing and boiling water. In scientific contexts, the Kelvin scale is also used, particularly in physics and chemistry.
The Celsius scale, which was known as the centigrade scale.
Paris uses the Celsius temperature scale.
Countries that use Celsius use it in their ovens.
Most countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America use the Celsius scale to measure temperature. North America is an exception, as it primarily uses the Fahrenheit scale.

to measure temperature
Yes. Beginning in 1970, Australia adopted the use of the Celsius (centigrade) scale for temperatures.
Strictly speaking, the degree Kelvin is the scientific temperature scale, and 0oC is +273.16 degrees K. The Fahrenheit temperature scale is being used less and less. Only a very few countries fail to use Celsius. So international convenience is the reason.

No, scientists typically measure temperature using the Celsius or Kelvin scale. The Fahrenheit scale is more commonly used in the United States and a few other countries for everyday temperature measurements.
Germany, like many other countries, uses the Celsius temperature scale as it is the standard unit of temperature measurement in much of the world. Fahrenheit is mainly used in the United States and a few other countries, while Celsius is used by the majority of the global population and in scientific research.
