Fahrenheit is a temperature scalewhich has the freezing point of water set at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F. The difference in the freezing and boiling points being exactly 180°. On the Celsius (or centigrade) scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 100 degrees apart.

Celsius is the temperature scale previously known as the centigrade scale. [The name Centigrade was derived from the Latin - meaning "hundred degrees". When Anders Celsius - a Swedish astronomer - created his original scale in 1742 he inexplicably chose 0° for the boiling point and 100° for the freezing point. One year later Frenchman Jean Pierre Cristin proposed an inverted version of the scale - freezing point 0°, boiling point 100°. He named it Centigrade.
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the German-Dutch physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), who proposed it in 1724. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written “32 °F”), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.
Relationship with the Kelvin scale:
K = (°F + 459.67) ÷ 1.8
°F = (K × 9/5) − 459.67
K = °C + 273.15
°C = K − 273.15
