Why is the kelvin temperature scale useful?

Our conventional Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature are related to things that we find in our own experience. Zero degrees Celsius is the temperature of freezing water; zero degrees Fahrenheit is the coldest temperature that Dr. Fahrenheit could achieve (in the 1700s) by mixing ice and salt together. The "100 degree" mark in Celsius is the boiling point of water, while 100 degrees Fahrenheit was normal body temperature. (He was a doctor, not a physicist; he got it wrong by 1.4 degrees.) The Kelvin scale is referenced to "absolute" zero, the impossible temperature at which all molecular motion would stop. So with the Kelvin scale, you can measure any temperature and all your numbers will be positive. (Makes the math easier.) The temperature of "absolute zero" is equal to -273 degrees Celsius, and the size of a degree is the same in the Kelvin and Celsius scales. So a nice day here on Earth would be around 300 degrees Kelvin.


False precision is when a number is so precise it's wrong For example body temperature was rounded to 37 degrees Celsius then converted to what Fahrenheit figure which is actually 0.4 degrees off?

98.6 degrees


Is asthenosphere the hottest layer?

AnswerMercury only becomes solid at temperatures below 37.89 degrees Fahrenheit Mercury becomes a liquid at room temperature.Mercury is very weird. It attaches to metal, but bends over plastic. It is poisonous if used wrong. It is used in thermometers.

What are the scales scientists used to measure temperature?

the two main scales used by scientists are Celsius and Kelvin (Kelvin being the most used because the range has a bottom out point at 0 degrees kelvin so there are no negatives). although a true 0 degree kelvin cannot be created kelvin is the most widely used. [technically, degrees Kelvin is grammatically wrong. Just Kelvin is correct. ]

What is the legal temperature to close Ohio schools?

50 degrees kelvin Actually, 50 degrees Kelvin is about -370 degrees Fahrenheit, so I'm pretty sure this answer is wrong. And 50 degrees Celsius is about 122 degrees Fahrenheit, so that isn't it either. And I know of no schools that close when the weather is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so there is no way to salvage this answer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the temperature determines which objects stop on which surfaces!!


What is to the temperature difference between earth and Neptune?

Neptune's temperature is around 72 degrees Kelvin, which is about 200 degrees colder than the Earth. Neptune is far further from the sun and as such is a much colder planet than earth.
