The Rømer scale is a historical temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Rømer. It was one of the first temperature scales to be based on empirical measurements. Rømer introduced his scale in 1701, and it was defined by two reference points: 1. The freezing point of water, which was set at 0 degrees Rømer. 2. The boiling point of water, which was set at 60 degrees Rømer.
