Delisle = -121.42857

About Rømer

Ole Rømer made significant contributions to the field of temperature measurement.

He was a Danish astronomer known for his work in the late 17th century. The Rømer scale (also known as the Danish scale) was based on the freezing and boiling points of water as many temperature scales are. Rømer's scale used the freezing and boiling reference points as 0 degrees and 60 degrees respectively. While the Rømer scale is no longer used it played a role as an early precursor to the Celsius scale.

About Delisle

Developed by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle, the Delisle scale was created in the early 18th century. It is a backwards scale that has decreasing values as the temperature rises.

The freezing point of water is 150 degrees and the boiling point is 0 degrees. To convert a temperature from Delisle to Celsius, you can use the formula: Celsius = (150 - Delisle) * 2/3.

In the 18th century the Delisle scale was widely used particularly in Russia but has since been forgotten and replaced by the Celsius scale.
