The Kelvin scale is based at absolute zero.

The Kelvin scale was defined when the scientist William Thomson (1st Baron Kelvin) calculated the absolute minimum thermal energy an object can have. He decided to shift the Celsius scale so that 0 would be equivalent to having zero thermal energy (aka absolute zero).

Is Fahrenheit and degree temperature can be negative?

Yes, both Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius temperatures can be negative. This indicates temperatures below the freezing point of water, which is 32°F (0°C).


At what temperature will Fahrenheit and Celsius the same?

Negative 40 degrees is the temperature that will be the same on Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.


When the temperature in Celsius is doubled from 10 Celsius to 20 Celsius is the temperature doubled on the Fahrenheit scale?

No, when the temperature in Celsius doubles from 10°C to 20°C, the temperature in Fahrenheit does not double. The relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures is not linear, so a doubling in Celsius temperature does not equate to a doubling in Fahrenheit temperature.

How can you tell whether a temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees celsius?

Behind the value there could be °F for degrees Fahrenheit or °C for degrees Celsius. When it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A hot temperature of 40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.


In the US do you measure temperature in degrees Celsius?

Scientific comparisons are done in Celsius, but outdoor readings are still announced, (and body temperatures still recorded) as temperatures on the Fahrenheit scale.


Can it snow in negative temperatures, or does snow only occur in positive temperatures?

Yes, it can snow in negative temperatures. Snow can form and fall when the air temperature is below freezing, which is typically below 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is negative 40 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?

The Answer is negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit. At that particular temperature both scales have the same reading.


To convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit temperatures quickly without?

You can quickly estimate Fahrenheit temperatures from Celsius by doubling the Celsius temperature and adding 30. This will give you an approximate Fahrenheit equivalent. For example, if it's 20°C, double it to get 40, then add 30 to get 70°F.
