  2. Fahrenheit 451 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451

    On inquiring about the temperature at which paper would catch fire, Bradbury had been told that 451 °F (233 °C) was the autoignition temperature of paper. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] In various studies, scientists have placed the autoignition temperature at a range of temperatures between 424 and 475 °F (218 and 246 °C), depending on the type of paper.

  3. Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

    Historically, on the Fahrenheit scale the freezing point of water was 32 °F, and the boiling point was 212 °F (at standard atmospheric pressure). This put the boiling and freezing points of water 180 degrees apart. [8] Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale was 1 ⁄ 180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point ...

  4. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Gabriel_Fahrenheit

    Work by others showed that water boils about 180 degrees above its freezing point. The Fahrenheit scale later was redefined to make the freezing-to-boiling interval exactly 180 degrees, [ 13 ] a convenient value as 180 is a highly composite number , meaning that it is evenly divisible into many fractions.

  6. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For most substances, the melting and freezing points are the same temperature; however, certain substances possess differing solid-liquid transition temperatures.

  7. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    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.

  9. Degree of frost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_frost

    "Degree" in this case can refer to degree Celsius or degree Fahrenheit. When based on Celsius, 0 degrees of frost is the same as 0 °C, and any other value is simply the negative of the Celsius temperature. When based on Fahrenheit, 0 degrees of frost is equal to 32 °F. Conversion formulas: T [degrees of frost] = 32 °F − T [°F]
