It was named after the man who invented it. Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, created his temperature scale in 1742.
The Celsius scale.
Kelvin, that's why on the Kelvin temperature scale absolute zero is 0 Kelvin and 0 degrees centigrade is 273 Kelvin.
The Fahrenheit scale.
The Celsius scale.
The temperature scale Fahrenheit is named for its inventor, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
The temperature scale is Fahrenheit, named for its inventor, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
The metric system temperature scale is spelled "Celsius" (capitalized, named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius).The name of the temperature scale is Celsius, named for its inventor Anders Celsius.The likely word is the proper noun Celsius, a centigrade temperature scale named for Swedish scientist Anders Celsius.
Celsius The Celsius scale of temperature was not discovered it was an invention or construction by the Swedish inventor Anders Celsius who invented a similar scale which was called centigrade. The scale degrees Celsius is named in his honour.
The temperature scale "Fahrenheit" is named after the inventor Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686 - 1736), a German physicist who proposed it in the year 1724. In this funny scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point of water 212 degrees Fahrenheit, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.
The name Fahrenheit for the temperature scale is in honor of its inventor, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
It was named after the man who invented it. Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, created his temperature scale in 1742.
It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)
The lowest possible temperature. On the Kelvin scale, this temperature is zero degrees; on the Celsius scale, about minus 273 degrees.
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 lowest possible temperature on the Celsius scale is -273.15 degrees Celsius. The lowest possible temperature on the Kelvin scale is 0 degrees Kelvin. Therefore the only temperature scale on which -460 degrees is possible is the Fahrenheit scale.
The answer will depend on what temperature scale these are in.
