The term is relative to the thermometer being used. On the Celsius or Centigrade scale, 1 degree is 1/100th of the range of temperature that water goes through from freezing to boiling; that is, water freezes at 0 degrees C and boils at 100 degrees, a difference of 100 degrees.
The Fahrenheit scale, on the other hand, has water freezing at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. Since there is a difference of 180 degrees there, a Fahrenheit degree is much smaller than a Celsius degree. (And don't get me started on Kelvin!)
What else can I help you with?
What is a sentence using the word degree?
The temperature was up by about one degree. The temperature rose about one degree. The temperature dropped about one degree.
Which is greater an increasein temperature of one degree celsius or one degree Fahrenheit?
An increase in temperature of one degree Celsius is greater than an increase in temperature of one degree Fahrenheit. This is because the Celsius scale has a larger degree increment than the Fahrenheit scale.
What is one degree on this scale is the metric unit of temperature?
One degree on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one Kelvin in the metric unit of temperature.
One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature changes as?
One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as one kelvin.
Do you add a degree when taking temperature underarm?
yes, add one degree when taking underarm temperature
What does 1 degree of temperature mean?
It is a temperature difference equal to the difference between two consecutive whole numbers on a temperature scale. An increment of one degree on the Celsius and Kelvin scales is equal to an increment of 1.8 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale (a change of 5°C or 5°K is equal to a change of 9°F).
Is the mean annual temperature in Pakistan?
Maximum temperature recorded in Pakistan is 53.4 Degree Celsius at Moenjo Daro Sindh and minimum temperature recorded in Sakardu was −24.1 Degree Celsius. Annual mean temperature in Pakistan remains 24-26.
One kelvin degree represents the same difference in what?
One Kelvin degree represents the same difference in temperature as one Celsius degree.
What do you mean by 37 degree Celsius?
It's just another temperature scale, it corresponds to about the same as 100 degree Fahrenheit = normal body temperature.
What temperature is A degrees higher then -7?
If you mean what temperature is a degree warmer than -7, it would be -6.
Why did kelvin choose to keep the temperature difference represented by one kelvin the same temperature difference represented by one degree Celsius?
Kelvin chose to keep the temperature difference for one Kelvin the same as one degree Celsius to facilitate easy conversion between the two temperature scales. This decision allows for a direct relationship between the scales, where one Kelvin is equal to one degree Celsius in terms of temperature difference.
What does acronym BTU mean?
British Thermal Unit, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit
