* Developed Fahrenheit to measure temperature *
* Birthday - May 24, 1686 *
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (24 May 1686 - 16 September 1736) was a German physicist. After his education he spent his entire life in the Netherlands, where he died in Amsterdam. They are credited with developing the Fahrenheit measure of temperature.
Numerous scientists, from Galileo to Newton, made numerous experiments to make thermometers using gases and liquids. From 1719 to 1724, Daniel Fahrenheit also experimented with thermometers. Fahrenheit began his experiment using alcohol first in a glass vertical tube, but without success as expected, he continued his experiment using mercury. These thermometers became more flexible and accurate. Convinced that water could evaporate, evaporate, and record human body temperature accurately, Fahrenheit introduced the experiment to the world by naming the thermometer after himself.
Even today the thermometer we use to measure body temperature has a bar of Fahrenheit with Celsius but the temperature of the unit of Fahrenheit is always taken into account. (E.g. 100 degree heat)
