What are Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees and how do they relate to temperature?

Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees are units of temperature scales, which basically measure how "hot" something is. Both measure in increments called degrees, but the degrees are not the same size on both scales. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (32 °F) or at 0 degrees Celsius (0 °C). Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (212 °F) or 100 degrees Celsius (100 °C). The range between where water freezes and where water boils, is therefore 180 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius. So 180 Fahrenheit degrees cover the same interval as 100 Celsius degrees. And there are 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees for every 1 Celsius degree. When a temperature changes by 1°C, it changes by 1.8°F.

What is higher 30 Celsius or 30 Fahrenheit?
30 C is a lot warmer; 30F is just below freezing! You can relate Celsius temperatures with this rhyme; 30 is hot and 20 is nice. 10 is cool, and Zero is ice!
500000 BTU is what in Fahrenheit?
Btu is a unit of measurement of amount of heat stored in a material not yet burned. Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature. These are two different things and cannot relate with one another in unity.
How do you relate watts with temperature?
The more watts your oven has, the faster the temperature increases.
What does centrepoise relate to?
Centrepoise is a measurement of viscosity. The higher the number, the more viscous (thick) the liquid is. At "room temperature", water has a nominal viscosity of 1.0
What is the GAS principle?
There are many. Some relate to Laws such as Boyle's Law. Decreasing the volume of a gas increases its temperature and vice versa or hold the temperature constant and volume and pressure are inversely related. Gas has no defined shape and will expand to fill any space in which it is contained. There are others, but this is a start.
How do degrees Celsius relate to degrees Fahrenheit?
The Celsius scale has its 'zero' at the same temperature as 32 on the Fahrenheit scale, and each Celsius degree is the same size as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees.
How degrees relate to Fahrenheit?
A degree is a step on the Fahrenheit scale.
What branch of science does Fahrenheit 451 relate to?
I would say chemistry, because this temperature is the temperature at which paper burns.
How cold does a refrigerator get?
The average refrigerator ranges in temperature from 35 - 40 degrees Fahrenheit. There are wild differences due to surroundings,room temp., efficiency, humidity, and where your refrigerator is located, whether its in a cut out or surrounded by walls, or not. Other factors such as how often the refrigerator or the freezer is opened and closed and all the above factors also relate to the freezer since in most modern models difuse cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator. So in the short of it most models average temp is between 35 - 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Which is the correct equation to relate Kelvin and Celsius?
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
500000 BTU is what in Fahrenheit?
Btu is a unit of measurement of amount of heat stored in a material not yet burned. Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature. These are two different things and cannot relate with one another in unity.
How does the title relate to events in the novel and themes in Fahrenheit 451?
The title "Fahrenheit 451" is the temperature at which paper ignites and burns. This burning temperature serves as a metaphor for the oppressive censorship and destruction of books in the novel. The title highlights themes of suppression of knowledge, censorship, and the power of books and ideas.
What does heat measure?
Heat can relate to many things.In particular we think about heat as in relating to a predefined scale.This scale can beKelvin (as in absolute temperature or energy level)Degrees Celsius (as in relation to its point of zero, melting point of ice)Degrees Fahrenheit (as in its relation to zero where Ice mixed with salt does no longer melt)Other scales can apply. We can make our own scale, say melting point of Mercury and use this as the reference for Zero and say that the boiling point of Mercury to be a second point. Then we just state how many "degrees" or "Mercuries" there is to be between them.The important thing is the relation.We use math in relation to the scale we apply to any question.Measured heat will then be true to the applied scale but it will also be true to all other scales if we convert between them. This can easily be done with math.Math as in dealing with percentages is however only true on the one scale we apply it on.Example:10 degrees Celsius and add 10% makes 11 degrees Celsius.10 degrees Fahrenheit and add 10% makes 11 degrees Fahrenheit.We can however not claim the rise in temperature for Celsius and Fahrenheit to be the same because each unit of Fahrenheit is smaller than each unit of Celsius.One unit of Fahrenheit is only 5/9 of a unit in Celsius.However:10 Kelvin and add 10% makes 11 Kelvin.In this example the rise in temperature is the same as the rise in temperature of Celsius.This because each unit in Kelvin is identical to each unit in Celsius.A rise in temperature of 20 degrees Celsius is the same as a rise in temperature of 20 Kelvin. Simply because the units are Identical.Zero Kelvin is however -273,16 degrees Celsius.The general rule is to do the math only with the scale that applies. Mixing them will be wrong and in absolutely most questions lead to a wrong answer.Science as such will normally only use Kelvin, but this is for Science.We do not convert to Kelvin before doing math and then revert to either Celsius or Fahrenheit showing the result if the question at hand does not ask us to do so.
How does the color of a star relate to its temperture?
the color of the star depends on it for example, a red star is a cool star while whte or blue is above 30,000 degrees Celsius!
How does snow and hail relate?
Well, they are both forms of precipitation.They both occur when it is raining.For example:If it is raining, but below 32 degrees celsius, then they occur.I hope I could answer your question.THX!:)
How can baking relate to math?
You use ratios to mix ingredients in the correct proportions. Calculating standing times, cooking times. You may need to convert temperatures from ancestral recipe books (in Fahrenheit) to modern ovens (in Celsius).
