Gabriel Fahrenheit was born May 24, 1686 in Danzig, Poland, and spent most his life in the Netherlands where he devoted himself to physics and manufacturing meteorology instruments. He visited other places to learn new skills on making instruments. In 1714 he came up with the mercury thermometer which at the time was a huge accomplishment. He used his invention to develop the first temperature scale precise enough to become a worldwide standard. He was the author of important improvements in the construction of thermometers, and he introduced the thermometric scale known by his name.
