Rømer (°Rø)
Definition
Rømer (°Rø) is a temperature scale where 0°Rø was set to the freezing point of brine, 7.5°Rø to the freezing point of water, and 60°Rø to the boiling point of water.
History
The Rømer scale was created in 1701 by Ole Christensen Rømer, a Danish astronomer. Fahrenheit visited Rømer and was inspired by his work, later developing his own scale based on similar reference points.
Current use
The Rømer scale is no longer used practically. It is notable in the history of thermometry as the scale that inspired Fahrenheit's work, and appears in academic discussions of temperature measurement history.
Newton (°N)
Definition
Newton (°N) is a temperature scale where 0°N equals the freezing point of water and 33°N equals the boiling point of water.
History
The Newton scale was devised around 1700 by Sir Isaac Newton. It was one of the earliest attempts to create a standardized temperature scale and predates both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Current use
The Newton temperature scale is not used in any modern practical application. It is studied in the history of science and thermometry as an early example of temperature standardization.
