The Fahrenheit scale is almost twice the size of the Celsius scale (between freezing and boiling on Celsius there are 100 degrees, but on the Fahrenheit there are 180 degrees) meaning that smaller temperature differences show up as a larger difference with the Fahrenheit scale than with the Celsius scale. They are just as easy as each other, though scientists prefer Kelvin which has the same unit differences as Celsius but starting with 0 K = -273.15oC (water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K). The Fahrenheit scale was originally intended to be 0oF = freezing point of brine, nominally 32oF = freezing point of water and 96oF = normal body temperature, but later scientists redefined the scale slightly so that water did freezer at exactly 32o F which made body temperature 98.4oF.
160 Celsius = 320 Fahrenheit
The Celsius scale has its 'zero' at the same temperature as 32 on the Fahrenheit scale, and each Celsius degree is the same size as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees.
68 degree celsius = 154.4 Fahrenheit
65 degrees Fahrenheit is 18.3 degrees Celsius.
Celsius, kelvin, Fahrenheit
The scientists who were behind the temperature measurements scale were quite a number. Galileo Galilei invented the water thermoscope, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was responsible for the Fahrenheit scale, Kelvin scale was invented by Lord Kelvin and Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale.
Anders Celsius created the Celsius scale in 1742, and Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit developed the Fahrenheit scale in 1724.

The units, in this case, are kelvin, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Celsius.
160 Celsius = 320 Fahrenheit
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.
50 degrees is hotter on the Celsius scale, as 50 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Celsius temperature scale came first, with Anders Celsius introducing it in 1742. The Fahrenheit temperature scale was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.
−273.15° on the Celsius scale which equates to −459.67° on the Fahrenheit scale
A 1 degree rise in the Celsius scale is equivalent to a 1.8 degree rise in the Fahrenheit scale. Therefore, a 1 degree increase in Fahrenheit is greater than in Celsius.
126 degrees Celsius is equal to 258.8 degrees Fahrenheit on the Fahrenheit scale.
