Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.
Fahrenheit scale - named for Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who identified a zero point for freezing brine, for water's melting point, and for human body temperature (working with a similar scale by Ole Rømer (1644-1710).
Celsius scale (centigrade) - named for Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who created a scaled thermometer later improved by Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778).
Kelvin scale - named for British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), who pioneered the concept of "absolute zero".
On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. On the Celsius scale (centigrade), water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. The Kelvin scale uses the same scale as Celsius degrees, but is offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15°K and boils at 373.15°K.

What are three types of temperature scales?
Fahrenheit, centigrade, kelvin.
Temperature is measured in what three scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
Where will the three scales of temperature meet?
The scales of temperature cannot all meet, as the Kelvin and Celsius scales have the same size degrees but different zero points. Absolute Zero is 0° Kelvin, and equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F. Because the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are offset by 32° at their starting points (freezing point of water), the two scales do have a common numerical point at -40° (minus 40 degrees).

Who were the scientists behind the temperature measurements scales?
The scientists who were behind the temperature measurements scale were quite a number. Galileo Galilei invented the water thermoscope, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was responsible for the Fahrenheit scale, Kelvin scale was invented by Lord Kelvin and Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale.

Actually it is called a balance - scales are in music and on fish.
