Definition
The Fahrenheit is the temperature scale based on that proposed in 1724 by the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), after whom the scale is named.

Its two reference points are:
 * $32 \,^\circ \mathrm F$, which is set at the melting point of water.
 * $212 \,^\circ \mathrm F$, which is set at the boiling point of water, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure.
