The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. The reference point $0\0^\circ$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) F was based on the temperature Daniel's thermometer reached when it was put in ice, water, and ammonium chloride. Another reference point was $96\0^\circ$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) F, which was the temperature of the human body that Daniel measured. His final reference point was the freezing point of water, or $32\0^\circ$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) F.
