Question

The three scales of temperature

Answer 1

The three most common temperature scales are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.

1. The Celsius temperature scale is a scale of temperature measurement where the difference of temperatures between freezing points and boiling points is divided into 100 degrees, $0˚C$ being the freezing point and $100˚C$ being the boiling point.
2. The absolute temperature scale is the Kelvin scale, whose zero is called absolute zero temperature which is equivalent to -273.15 $˚$C.
3. On the Fahrenheit scale of temperature, the melting point of ice is taken as 32 degrees. The boiling point of water is 212 $˚$F and the distance between the two is divided into 180 equal parts. Each division corresponds to 1 degree. The absolute zero temperature in Fahrenheit is 459.7$˚$F.
