    Fahrenheit is air-on-Earth scaled. 0-100 is about the typical range of temperatures on the Earth’s surface (excluding the winter pole) for a given day. This makes it ideally tailored to describing weather, its purpose.

    Celcius is will-water-be-liquid scaled. Specifically on Earth at sea level, but even going into space it’s not that far off. That makes it ideally tailored for cooking and doing other water-based chemistry, its purpose.
