The metric system (SI) measurement of temperature is the "degree Kelvin"(K). These are the same unit as Celsius degrees, except that the Kelvin scale has its lower end at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C) so that a measured temperature is 273.15° higher in K than in Celsius.
Hence the freezing point of water at standard pressure is 0° C , or 273.15 K and the boiling point is 100°C or 373.15° K.
For everyday usage, the Celsius scale is used. When scientific data is reported, Kelvin is used. Kelvin temperatures do not use the degree mark.

The temperature scale used in most of the world is the?
Celsius is the temperature scale that is used in most of the world.
Most nations use what scale of temperature?
The Celsius scale, which was known as the centigrade scale.
Metric temperature scale with 100 as the boiling point of water?
The Celsius temperature scale. ( also called Centigrade )
If the temperature of an object is 45c what is the temperature on the kelvin scale?
316k
When do you use the Rankine Scale?
The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed. The Rankine scale is useful in calcluations of oil or gas present in an oil or gas reservoir (one of the factors in the equations is the ratio of standard temperature to formation temperature; generally add 460 to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankine).
What is ment by the Kelvin scale of temperature?

What is the temperature scale where water freezes at 32?
It is the Fahrenheit temperature scale
What is the equivalent temperature on the celsius scale?
You need to tell us what temperature you want to convert - and from which temperature scale !

What temperature scale shows water freezing at 0?
It is the Celsius temperature scale
Which temperature scale is not directly or indirectly based on a phase changes in water?
Fahrenheit Scale is the temperature scale that is not directly or indirectly based on the phase changes in water. Another similar temperature scale is Celsius Scale.
Which temperature scale is the SI scale?
Celcius.
Who defined the absolute temperature scale?
The absolute temperature scale was defined by Lord Kelvin.
The temperature scale that gives the most precise temperature is?
The temperature scale that gives the most precise temperature is the Fahrenheit scale because there are 9 Fahrenheit degrees for every 5 Celsius degrees.
The temperature scale on which zero is the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter?
The generic name is "absolute temperature scale"; the most commonly used one is the Kelvin scale.
