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 Today, the scale has largely been replaced by the Celsius scale; it is still in use for non-scientific purposes in the United States and a few other countries such as Belize,[1] and is sometimes given in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.
