The temperature scale commonly used in science is the Celsius or centigrade scale. The Kelvin scale is most often used in the thermodynamic and astronomical fields (and especially when dealing with temperatures close to absolute zero).
There are two temperature scales used by scientists. The first scale, Kelvin, is the SI (Standard Unit) or official unit used in certain cases. Informally, and more commonly is the Celsius scale.
The older Fahrenheit scale (and its absolute version, the Rankine) are still used in the US and some other countries, but not generally for scientific purposes to avoid misunderstandings in data comparison.

∙ 12y agoScientists use the Celsius scale because it is more uniformly accepted worldwide. Certain computations require the use of the Kelvin scale, which incorporates the same size for the "degree", but has its zero point at absolute zero (there are no negative Kelvin temperatures).

The scale most widely used by scientists for measuring earthquakes is?
Moment Magnitude Scale :))
The Mohs scale helps scientists to identify the 'blank' of a mineral?
The Mohs scale is used to measure the hardness of minerals.
Do scientists use the Fujita scale for hurricanes or tornadoes?
The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
What do scientists use to determine mineral hardness?
The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is generally used to determine the hardness of a mineral. The Mohs scale rates the ability of mineral to scratch or be scratched by another mineral.
Does the Mohs scale help scientists identify the crystal shape of a mineral?
The Mohs scale is used to identify the mineral property of hardness only.
What was the first magnitude scale used by scientists?
Richter scale
The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an?
The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an earthquake.
What do you call a temperature scale used by scientists?
celsius

By which professions was the geological time scale used by?
The geological time scale was used by professions such as scientists. Scientists use this to record important life events and life forms. These are very important to humans.
Is the Celsius scale used in the US?
Yes. All scientists that work in the US use the Celsius scale.
The Mohs scale helps scientists to identify the 'blank' of a mineral?
The Mohs scale is used to measure the hardness of minerals.
Do scientists use the Fujita scale for hurricanes or tornadoes?
The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
When do you use kelvin?
This scale is mostly used in scientific applications.
A temperature scale used by scientists metric?
Temperature is measured in kelvin, degrees celsius are also used.
What is the typical scale of Airfix models?
The most commonly used scales for Airfix models are 1/24 and 1/72. The 1/24 scale is mostly used for cars and motorcycles while the 1/72 scale is mostly used for aircraft, rockets and military vehicles.
What do scientists use to determine mineral hardness?
The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is generally used to determine the hardness of a mineral. The Mohs scale rates the ability of mineral to scratch or be scratched by another mineral.
