this is sorta a trick question because you cant have twice as cold, there is no such thing as cold just absence of heat...think about it so say its 100 deg celsius, can you still say twice as cold as 100 deg? nope
It would be Absolute Zero...... As cold as it can get..... −273.15° on the Celsius scale −459.67° on the Fahrenheit scale. 0° on the Kelvin Scale Other than Laboratory conditions. The nebula is the coldest known place to mankind it is about 5,000 light-years from your house on Earth and is in the constellation Centaurus. Atleast on the planet earth....... we can safely assume that it wont get "twice as cold"when its freezing outside at Zero Degrees :-)
The zero points on both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are arbitrary. These are, therefore, interval scales which means that 2 deg C (or F) is not twice as warm as 1 deg C (or F). In the absolute scale for temperature, 0 deg C is 273.15 K and so twice as cold (or half as hot) would be 136.575 K = -136.575 deg C.
-31 degrees Fahrenheit is twice as cold as zero.
It would be minus 32 degrees I think. Am I right?
no,the temp will be half as warm.

It is exactly twice of 184 which is 368 degrees Fahrenheit.
Convert the temperature to Kelvin. Kelvin starts from absolute zero; so twice the temperature represents twice the internal energy. After doubling the temperature in Kelvin, you can convert back to Celsius if you like.
well when i went to France (i live in england south west) it was around 26-32 degrees Celsius and i nearly fainted because of the heat! though I'm glad i went there cause it made me think twice about booking a hotel in Egypt where it was 41 degrees Celsius! 26 C = 78.8 F
No. It is hotter. However, it is not twice as hot since the Celsius scale is not absolute - Kelvin is the absolute scale for temperature.
100 degrees Celsius is the highest temperature. 100F is 37.8 C and 310.7K. 100C is 237.6F and 373K. 100K is -173C and -253.8F. So 100C is the highest temperature.
-26 degrees? Actually, it's -229.835 degrees Fahrenheit or -136.575 Celsius. Absolute zero is -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit and -273.15 Celsius. Divide either one by 2 to get the twice as cold answer.
100 degrees Celsius is more than twice as warm as 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
It will be -2 degrees tomorrow. Twice as cold means subtracting the same temperature again, which in this case is 2 degrees.

Since 0 degrees Celsius equals 273 degrees Kelvin, then air that is twice as hot would be equal to 546 degrees Kelvin, which when converted back to Celsius is equal to 273 degrees Celsius. The natural urge is to double the Celsius temperature, let's say it was 5 degrees Celsius, then you'd probably want to double it to 10 degrees Celsius, however, that isn't correct. True temperature is measured in Kelvins, so you must convert to Kelvin to find out the true temperature conversion. Hope this answers the question.

Because Kelvin is an absolute scale while Celsius is not. If you think of heat as a measure of the thermal energy of molecules in a substance then 2K is twice as hot as 1K. 2 degrees Celsius is not twice as hot as 1 degree C.

One of the problems with the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales is that they are not linear. We cannot say, for example, that a cup of water at 40 degrees C is twice as hot as one as 20 degrees, or that water at 20 degrees is twice as hot as water at 10 degrees. The absolute -- or Kelvin -- scale solves this problem, because it is linear.
Zero degrees Celsius (or centigrade) is the same as 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, if you convert the temperature to Fahrenheit, and we are working on a twice (as cold) minus reduction, then tomorrow could be 16 degrees Fahrenheit?it doesn't ask for Fahrenheit. if it is 0 now and twice as cold tomorrow, 0 x 2 = 0. it will be 0 degrees Celsius.If we use the Kelvin scale 0'C = 273.15'K so twice as cold would be 546.3' K or 273.15' C not a realistic answer for Earthly temperatures.Another Answer"Double the coldness" is meaningless. "Cold" is merely a lack of heat. Temperature is a measure of heat, not cold. Moreover, even if you could measure "coldness", you would have to use some unit of measurement that starts at zero when there is no coldness, and increases as it gets colder (the opposite of temperature). I'm not talking about Kelvin, because the zero on the Kelvin scale is set where there is no heat, not where there is no coldness. Presumably, the point of "zero coldness" would be the point at which the highest possible temperature is obtained, and therefore there is no coldness at all. But theoretically, there is no maximum temperature, and therefore no point of "zero coldness". But, even if you could establish what the maximum possible temperature (and therefore the zero point on your "coldness" scale) was, it would be so high that doubling coldness would result in a temperature of less than absolute zero, which is impossible. For example, even if the maximum possible temperature was as low as 600 degrees F (and we know that the average star burns many, many times hotter than that), 600 degrees F is approximately 316 degrees C, or 589 K. If you set your "zero coldness" at this point, 589 K, and increased your coldness measure by 1 for every 1 degree decrease in K, your coldness measurement would reach 316 at 0 degrees C. If you double this, you have a coldness measurement of 632, which equates to a Kelvin temperature of -43. But negative Kelvin temperatures do not exist. QED - there is no such thing as "twice as cold".

The absense of heat is zero on the Kelvin scale, which is −273.15 degrees Celsius. So 0 C is 273.15 K, and 18 C is 291.15 K. Twice that is 582.3 K, or 309.15 C.
