The difference between the boiling and freezing point of pure water, at atmospheric pressure, is 100 on both, the degrees Celsius and Kelvin scales. It is 180 on the Fahrenheit scale.
The USA and some Caribbean islands are the only countries whose official temperature scale is Fahrenheit; in all other countries, and specially amongst scientists, the scale used is Celsius or Kelvin.

Which is larger a Celsius degree or a Kelvin?
Hi when dealing with the kelvin scale the numbers will be larger than in celsius because when you are converting from celsius to kelvin you need to add 273.15 on to the temperature in celsius. This is because zero celsius is 273.15 kelvin.
What one degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one unit temperature change on the what temperature scale?
No, the "degrees" have the same name but are different sizes. (Celsius degrees are larger intervals than Fahrenheit degrees.) A change of 1 degree Celsius is the same as a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do you convert kelvins to degrees?
One Kelvin is exactly equal to one Celsius degree, and to 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. At any temperature, the Celsius number is 273.15 less than the Kelvin number. Getting the Fahrenheit number is slightly more complicated than that.
Which is colder Celsius or Fahrenheit?
At -40 they're the same. Neither is colder, they are scales of measurements for temperature. Those are two scales of temperature. Neither can be defined as being colder. One could say that Fahrenheit is the "colder" scale because -1 degree Fahrenheit is colder than -1 degree Celsius. The "coldest" scale I know of is Kelvin, which defines 0 degrees Kelvin as -273.15 degrees Celsius (Absolute Zero).
What are the differences of Fahrenheit Celsius and Kelvin?
Kelvin and Celsius are almost the same, except the Kelvin scale is 273.15 degrees higher. So zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero) is the same as -273.15 C and 273.15 K is 0 C (freezing point of water). As for Fahrenheit, the freezing point is 32 degrees higher than Celsius, and there are 9 Fahrenheit degrees for every 5 Celsius degrees. So to convert from between Fahrenheit and Celsius: F = C * 9/5 + 32 C = (F - 32) * 5/9 Or if you prefer working with decimals: F = C * 1.8 + 32 C = (F-32) / 1.8
Is 210 celsius colder than 233 celsius?
Yes. In all temperature scales in current use (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin), larger numbers mean hotter temperatures.
Is The boiling point of chlorine is lower than the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of Chlorine is 239.11 Kelvin (equivalent to 34.04 degrees Celsius or -29.272 degrees Fahrenheit).The boiling point of water is 373.15 Kelvin (equivalent to 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit).
What is the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit?
To change Fahrenheit to Centigrade you subtract 32 and then multiply the number by 5/9. To change Centigrade to Fahrenheit you multiply the number by 9/5 and add 32. ifthe temperature is25.3
What is the value of the temperature 1 degree Celsius in degrees kelvin?
1 Kelvin "degree" is the same as a "degree" in Celsius. The two scales just have different starting points. So 1 Kelvin degree is the same temperature interval as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. (The actual temperature 1°K is equal to -272.15°C or -457.87°F )
At what temperature is Celsius a bigger number than Fahrenheit?
At -40 degrees, Celsius and Fahrenheit are equal. Warmer than that, and Fahrenheit will have the bigger number than Celsius. Cooler than -40 and Celsius will have a bigger number than Fahrenheit.
Is Celsius colder than Fahrenheit?
if its 25 degrees celsius vs 25 degrees fahrenheit then fahrenheit is colder than celsius
What do you do to find what temperature is equal to kelvin?
To find something in degrees kelvin from degrees Celsius, you add 273. So, 100 degrees Celsius would be 373 Kelvin and 0 degrees Celsius would be 273 Kelvin. *You can never have negative Kelvin numbers. 0 degrees Kelvin is considered absolute 0, where all atomic motion stops.
