something is, used by many people in Britain. The freezing point of Fahrenheit
is 32 degrees. So a cold winter’s day in Britain would have a temperature
of 38 F (3 centigrade), and a hot summer’s day would have a temperature
of 90 F (32 centigrade). The Fahrenheit scale was invented by the German
scientist Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1710. Today in Britain most people over
