To measure the temperature can not be used tentacle of our senses, because it will be very subjective and from person to person will vary depending on the sensitivity of the sense of feeling on.
Therefore, the temperature is measured with an instrument called a thermometer.

In making the thermometer scale, we must first determine the reference temperature. From here there are three different types of thermometer scale is known today, the Celsius thermometer, Reamur, and Fahrenheit.

Determination of the scale on the Celsius thermometer worn number 0 when the ice melts and the number 100 when the water boils. Between zero and 100 divided into 100 sections in a linear manner. Each part is called or scale degrees Celsius. This division can be forwarded to up or down. So at this thermometer ice melts at 0oC, and water boils at 100oC.

Reamur scale created by taking the number 0 for the ice to melt and the 80 for the water to boil. Between 0 and 80 is divided into 80 parts linearly. Each part is called Reamur scale.

Fahrenheit thermometer, unlike centigrade thermometer and reamur in taking the reference temperature. On the Fahrenheit thermometer ice melting at number 32, and water boils at 212 points. Between numbers 32 and 212 divided into 180 sections linearly. Each part is called the Fahrenheit scale.
