The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. The reference point 
F was based on the temperature Daniel's thermometer reached when it was put in ice, water, and ammonium chloride. Another reference point was 
F, which was the temperature of the human body that Daniel measured. His final reference point was the freezing point of water, or 
F.
