Which two temperature scales have the same size units?

Celsius and Kelvin


How does the size of one degree Celsius compare with that of one degree Fahrenheit and one degree Kelvin?

The size of the degree is the same in the Kelvin and Celsius scales.


Is one kelvin unit equivalent to 1 Fahrenheit?

No.1 Kelvin degree is equal to 1 Celsius degree. Kelvin starts at - 273.15 oC but each degree has the same size Kelvin and Celsius.


One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as what in Fahrenheit and Kelvin?

The size of a "degree" on the Kelvin scale is identical to the size of a Celsius degree. So a change (up or down) of 1°C is the same as a change of 1 Kelvin. The size of a Fahrenheit degree is much smaller. A change of 1°C (up or down) is the same as a change of 1.8° on the Fahrenheit scale. Example : 10° C = 283.15 K = 50° F 11° C = 284.15 K = 51.8° F


Can temperature be used in si units?

The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin. It's the same size as the Celsius degree.


One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as A. one degree Fahrenheit B. one degree kelvin C. 59 degree Fahrenheit or D. 95 kelvin?

A change of one degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as a change of (B) one Kelvin. (Isn't it easier to say that Kelvins are the same size as Celsius degrees ?)


What temperature scales have units of equal size?

Kelvin and Celsius


How does the size of a Fahrenheit degree compare to the size of a kelvin degree?

A Fahrenheit degree is smaller than a Kelvin degree. In the Fahrenheit scale, one degree is equal to 1/180th of the interval between the freezing point and boiling point of water, while in the Kelvin scale, one degree is equal to the same size increment as one Celsius degree, but starting from absolute zero.


Describe how a change in temperature of 1 degree differs on the Fahrenheit Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales?

A change of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equal to a change of 0.56 degrees Celsius or 0.56 Kelvin. The Fahrenheit scale has a larger degree size compared to the Celsius and Kelvin scales, which results in smaller incremental changes.


Which temperature scales have units of equal size?

Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same unit, but they start at different temperatures. 0 Celsius is the freezing pt of water, but 0 Kelvin is absolute zero (the coldest temperature possible)


What one degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one unit temperature change on the what temperature scale?

No, the "degrees" have the same name but are different sizes. (Celsius degrees are larger intervals than Fahrenheit degrees.) A change of 1 degree Celsius is the same as a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.


Is the increase in 1 kelvin greater than 1 celsius?

No, it is not. it can be seen when looking at the conversion factor of Kelvin to Celsius, let K=kelvin and C=celsius, then the equation is K=273.15+C, the units are changed but the value of change is the same.
