Fahrenheit to Delisle calculation

Delisle = ((Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.2) + -100

Delisle = ((0 - 32) / 1.2) + -100

Delisle = (-32 / 1.2) + -100

Delisle = -26.66666667 + -100

Delisle = -126.66666667

About the Fahrenheit scale

The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature measurement system developed by the Polish-German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. It is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries, and is less commonly used in scientific and international contexts compared to the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale.

The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) representing the freezing point and 212 °F representing the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. This scale divides the range between these two points into 180 equal intervals, or degrees. The Fahrenheit scale is known for its smaller degree increments compared to the Celsius scale, which can provide more precise temperature measurements in certain applications.

While the Fahrenheit scale is still widely used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements, it is important to note that most of the world relies on the Celsius scale. Understanding both temperature scales is crucial for international communication and scientific collaboration.

About Delisle

The Delisle scale is a temperature scale that was developed by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in the early 18th century. It is named after him and is based on the Celsius scale, which is widely used today. The Delisle scale is a reverse scale, meaning that as the temperature increases, the Delisle value decreases.

On the Delisle scale, the boiling point of water is set at 0 degrees, while the freezing point is set at 150 degrees. This means that the Delisle scale has a larger range than the Celsius scale, with 180 degrees between the boiling and freezing points. To convert a temperature from Delisle to Celsius, you can use the formula: Celsius = (150 - Delisle) * 2/3.

While the Delisle scale was widely used in the 18th century, it has since fallen out of favor and is not commonly used today. The Celsius scale, on the other hand, is the most widely used temperature scale in the world, particularly in scientific and everyday applications. It is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, making it a practical and easily understandable scale for measuring temperature.
