To answer your question, the "72 degrees Fahrenheit=room temperature" is considered from internal body temperatures being 98.6 degrees +/-, thus making the temperature of skin to be around 72-76 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why a temperature around that range is usually comfortable and coined as room temperature.Mar 28, 2016
