The temperature scale that has no negative values is the Kelvin scale, because it has its zero point at the lowest possible measurable temperature (absolute zero).

The similarly based scale using Fahrenheit intervals (degrees) is the Rankine scale. The Kelvin scale starts at (the minimum) absolute zero. (0 K = -273 oC)

Degree symbol used on Celsius and on f but not on k?

Because when expressing absolute temperature using the Kelvin scale, the unit of temperature is not the "degree", it's the "Kelvin". The "Kelvin" is a unit of temperature equal to one Celsius degree. There's no such thing as a "Kelvin degree".


What temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degree boils at 100degree?

The Celsius scale.


What is one degree on this scale is the metric unit of temperature?

One degree on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one Kelvin in the metric unit of temperature.


What is measured by temperature with no degree sign?

No degree sign is used on the Kelvin scale.


On which temperature scale does 1 degree represent the smallest change in temperature?

The Fahrenheit scale change of 1 degree is smallest when compared to Celsius change. 1.8 degrees Celsius is 1 degree Fahrenheit


Which is greater an increasein temperature of one degree celsius or one degree Fahrenheit?

An increase in temperature of one degree Celsius is greater than an increase in temperature of one degree Fahrenheit. This is because the Celsius scale has a larger degree increment than the Fahrenheit scale.


What measure temperature?

The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.


Why degree is not written with kelvin scale?

The SI unit of absolute temperature is the Kelvin, not the degree.


What word means degree of temperature?

You just say "degree" followed by the temperature scale, for example, "It was 20 degrees Celsius".

Does 1.0 Fahrenheit or 1.0 Celsius correspond to larger temperature change?

A change of 1.0 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a larger temperature change than a change of 1.0 degree Celsius. This is because the Fahrenheit scale has a smaller degree value compared to the Celsius scale.
