Give 3 example of thermometer?
Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.Fahrenheit scale - Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°FCelsius scale (centigrade) - Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°CKelvin scale - same scale as Celsius degrees, but offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15°K and boils at 373.15°K

What temperature scale is used by most nations in the world?
commonly used? well fahrenheit and celsius/centigrade(same thing) for weather temperature. Then there is kelvin used in technical/scientific situations and thats about it for common usage so 3 is the answer. There are up to seven different temperature scales but only 3 are used commonly
What are the 3 types of scales used in the development of sketches?
The three types of scales used in the development of sketches are: geometric scale, diagonal scale, and plain scale. These scales are used to accurately represent measurements and dimensions within a sketch or drawing.
Why do you have 3 temperature scales?
The reason why there are 3 temperature scales is that people have introduced new temperature scales in order to improve on existing scales. Fahrenheit was first. There was no temperature scale before that. It is a bit awkward because it defines 100o as the normal temperature of the interior of the human body, which is not that convenient to measure (and oral thermometers read 98.6o because they are not quite in the interior of the human body, even though they do go into an orifice of the body). So the Celsius scale is easier to calibrate since it is based on the freezing point of water, at zero degrees, and the boiling point of water at a hundred degrees; these phenomena are relatively easy to observe. But then, there is an even more useful zero point for a temperature scale, which is the point at which there is actually no heat at all, in other words absolute zero, so this gives us degrees Kelvin. It would be perfectly feasible to use only the Kelvin scale for everything, but then, we are used to using both of the other two scales, which have become well established, and people are reluctant to give them up. So we have 3 scales.
