Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer in 1714, but it is unknown exactly how many he made. It divided the freezing and boiling points of water into 180 degrees. 32Â°F was the freezing point of water and 212Â°F was the boiling point of water, set by Fahrenheit himself. 0Â°F was based on the temperature of an equal mixture of water, ice, and salt. Fahrenheit based his scale on the temperature of the human body.
