It is, but if you look at how Farenheit was conceived it's absurdly nonsensical. 0°F is the freezing temperature or some mixture of chemicals, and 90°F is a guess at human body temperature lmao.

And the freezing/boiling points of water are arbitrary except in that they are used to actually define both scales. They provide easily measurable standards.

No, 0° was the lowest temperature recorded in the city Fahrenheit lived, and 100° was considered normal body temperature, with the quality of thermometer available at the time.

It’s quite arbitrary, but ends up mapping pretty nicely to comfortable ranges for humans.

I think it's the freezing point of brine
