Which unit of heat was originally defined in terms of the Fahrenheit temperature scale, not the Celsius scale?

British Thermal Unit

joule

kilocalorie

calorie

I think the answer would be British Thermal Unit

Explanation:

It equals one degree Fahrenheit and the equation for it is  1.055 × 103 joules.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
