The Celsius scale is a relative scale, meaning that it is based on two arbitrary reference points: the freezing point of water (0 \u00c2\u00b0C) and the boiling point of water (100 \u00c2\u00b0C). The Celsius scale is commonly used in everyday life, but it is not an SI unit.<\/p>\n<p>Fahrenheit (\u00c2\u00b0F) is a temperature scale that was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing point of water (32 \u00c2\u00b0F) and the boiling point of water (212 \u00c2\u00b0F). The Fahrenheit scale is commonly used in the United States and a few other countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe Join Our Telegram Channel on
