Behind the value there could be °F for degrees Fahrenheit or °C for degrees Celsius. When it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A hot temperature of 40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

You need to specify whether Celsius or Fahrenheit. If Fahrenheit, then it would be freezing! For Celsius, it would be really hot!


What is the unit of measurement for degrees?

A degree is a portion of some large quantity, whether it be of temperature, width of arc, or a goal. A compass has 360 degrees. Temperature is measured in degrees, irregardless of the type of scale, Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.


Is -140 degrees Celsius unliveable?

Let us convert to Fahrenheit and you might see then whether the temperature is unlivable or not. Temperature Fahrenheit = (- 140o C)(1.80) + 32 = - 106.2o Fahrenheit ========================rather nippy, but perhaps livable with the proper conditions met!

Why is it important to convert it to kelvin or Celsius?

Kelvin is an absolute temperature, whereas both Celsius and Fahrenheit (as well as others) do not have an absolute zero value. The advantage of the Celsius scale is that one Celsius degree is the same as one degree on the Kelvin scale. As a result temperature changes are the same whether measured in Kelvin or degrees C. Besides, nobody apart from the US uses Fahrenheit anyway. Oh, yes, also Burma and Liberia.
