The first alcohol thermometer was made by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1709. Fahrenheit spent most of his life in the Netherlands, where he devoted himself to the study of physics and the manufacture of precision meteorological instruments. He discovered, among other things, that water can remain liquid under its freezing point and that the boiling point of liquids varies according to atmospheric pressure. The Fahrenheit temperature scale is based on the value of 32 degrees for the freezing point of the water and 212 degrees for its boiling point, and the interval between them is divided into 180 degrees. Until the seventies, the Fahrenheit scale was used in English-speaking countries while the Celsius scale was used for scientific purposes in most other countries and globally.
