What is the basic unit for temperature?

Answer 1

the base unit of temperature is in Celsius and Fahrenheit

Kelvin is the official unit for temperature but it is only used in science.

Kelvin can be converted to Celsius by subtracting 273. Example: 273 K = 0 oC; 25 oC = 298 K

Fahrenheit can be calculated from Celsius by the following formula:

F = C x 9/5 + 32 OR

C = (F - 32) x 5/9

The degrees in Kelvin and Celsius are the same size but Fahrenheit is not directly proportional.
The two basic units for measuring temperature are Fahrenheit (named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit) and Celsius (named for Anders Celsius). Celsius was originally called Centigrade because the temperature range between freezing boiling water was split into 100 points called degrees where the freezing point of water was 0 degrees and the boiling point of water was 100 degrees.

With Fahrenheit the freezing point is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees. Working mathematically, a degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to 5/9 degrees Celsius.

There is also another temperature scale called the Kelvin scale. It starts with 0 degrees at absolute zero. Absolute zero means there is no heat at all to measure. zero degrees Kelvin is equivalent to −273.15 degree Celsius or −459.67 degree Fahrenheit. The name Kelvin has nothing to do with the Kelvin timeline associated with a well known reboot of a Science Fiction space travel movie.

Answer 2

The basic unit for temperature is the Kelvin (K) in the International System of Units (SI).

Answer 3

The kelvin.
