Fahrenheit and Celsius
What else can I help you with?
What are two scales scientists use to measure temperature and what is the official SI unit for temperatures?
Celsius and Kelvins are the two scales that scientists use to measure temperature and the official SI unit for temperature is Celsius.
What is a fraction that compares two measurements of same quantity?
There need not be any such fraction: consider temperatures in the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
What is Fraction of difference between two fixed temperatures?
The normal scales in which temperature is measured - Fahrenheit or Celsius - are interval scales but not ratio scales. This is because the 0 points are arbitrary. As a consequence, the difference between two fixed temperature cannot be expressed as a fraction.For example 10 deg C is NOT 10 times as warm as 1 deg C.
What place in the world can have their temperatures Fahrenheit and Celsius equal?
Very, very cold places. The two scales give the same numerical reading at -40 degrees.
What are the two temperature scale?
The two most common temperature scales are the Fahrenheit scale and the Celsius scale. However, the Kelvin scale is also used, primarily in science, to prevent negative temperatures.
Do different themometer give different temperatures?
They're not supposed to do that, any more than two rulers should give different lengths. If two rulers give different lengths, or two scales give different weights, or two thermometers give different temperatures, then at least one of them is wrong, and maybe both are.
Is -40 the same in Fahrenheit and Celsius?
0
What are the two type of scales?
There are two types of earthquake scales. These types of scales include the Richter scale, as well as the seismic scale.
What is different about the Kelvin scale compared to the other two temperature scales?
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale that starts from absolute zero, where particles have minimal motion. This means that negative temperatures cannot exist on the Kelvin scale. In contrast, the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are relative scales based on the freezing and boiling points of water.
What are 2 scales that measure temperature?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin are used to measure temperatures.
What is the name of the two different type of scales on maps?
The name of two different types of scales found on maps is graphic scales. The scales are used to establish the ration of the distance on the map to the actual distance.
Why is it possible to have negative values on the F and C temperature scales?
Negative values on the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales represent temperatures below the freezing point of water. This indicates temperatures below zero degrees where water transitions from a liquid to a solid state. It is possible to have negative values on these scales because they are based on the properties of water and its freezing point.
