If you're thinking of the Celsius versus Farenheit scales, the Fareneit scale has smaller units. For example, water freezes at zero degrees C, or 32 degrees F. It boils at 100C and 212F, so there are 180 units between ice and steam in Farenheit,(32 to 212) but only 100 in Celsius.

No, the smallest change in temperature is represented by a Kelvin is the same as in Celsius, as one Kelvin is equivalent to one Celsius degree. The Kelvin scale is the same size as the Celsius scale but begins at absolute zero.


What do you call the scale that water boils at 100 and freezes at 0?

Celsius A "degree" in Celsius is 1.8 times as large an interval as a "degree" in Fahrenheit. So changes in temperature will be 1.8 times as large on the Fahrenheit scale than on the Celsius scale. Answered by: desiree
