The Rømer scale (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁœˀmɐ]; notated as °Rø), also known as Romer or Roemer, is a temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer, who developed it for his own use in around 1702. It is based on the freezing point of pure water being 7.5 degrees and the boiling point of water as 60 degrees ...
Phasmophobia is a paranormal horror game by British indie game studio Kinetic Games. The game became available in early access for Microsoft Windows with virtual reality support in September 2020. In the game, one to four players work to complete a contract where they must identify the type of ghost haunting a designated site, with several ...
Scale of temperature is a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology.Empirical scales measure temperature in relation to convenient and stable parameters or reference points, such as the freezing and boiling point of water.

[17] [18] Under this system, the Fahrenheit scale is redefined slightly so that the freezing point of water was exactly 32 °F, and the boiling point was exactly 212 °F, or 180 degrees higher. It is for this reason that normal human body temperature is approximately 98.6 °F (oral temperature) on the revised scale (whereas it was 90° on ...
Old thermometer in a pharmacy in Vienna, showing room temperature by Reaumur scale. Réaumur and Celsius scale on thermometer. Private collection, central Europe. The Réaumur scale (French pronunciation: [ʁeomy(ː)ʁ]; °Ré, °Re, °r), also known as the "octogesimal division", [1] is a temperature scale for which the melting and boiling points of water are defined as 0 and 80 degrees ...
The difference of temperatures between the freezing- and boiling-points of water under standard atmospheric pressure shall be called 100 degrees. (The same increment as the Celsius scale) Thomson's best estimates at the time were that the temperature of freezing water was 273.7 K and the temperature of boiling water was 373.7 K. [33]
The thermometer in the picture shows -17 °C (1.4 °F). The English word "frost" has 2 base meanings that are related to each other but nevertheless sufficiently different: temperature of air below the freezing point of water (ca 273 K) deposit of ice on cold surfaces; The WMO avoids the word "frost" alone [1] and uses
