The Delisle Scale (°De)
The Delisle scale, created by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732, is a unique temperature scale that runs inversely to most modern scales. In this scale:
- 0 °De = Water's boiling point (100 °C)
- 150 °De = Water's freezing point (0 °C)
- Higher numbers indicate colder temperatures
Conversion Formula
To convert from Delisle (°De) to Celsius (°C), use this formula:
°C = 100 - (°De × 2/3)
Common Temperature Points
- Boiling Point of Water: 0 °De = 100 °C
- Freezing Point of Water: 150 °De = 0 °C
- Absolute Zero: 559.725 °De = -273.15 °C
