A measure of temperature with water freezing at 32°F (0°C) and boiling at 212°F (100°C).
A scale of temperatures where the freezing and boiling points of water are 32° and 212° under standard atmospheric pressure.
Pert, to a temperature scale, commonly abbreviated as F, on which water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°, as compared to 0° and 100°, respectively, on the Celsius scale.
Temperature scale on which freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point of water is 212°F. One degree Fahrenheit (1°F) equals 5/9th of one degree Celsius (centigrade, C).
A temperature scale created by the German physicist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) that designates the freezing point of water as 32° and the boiling point as 212°.
