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

In the US you measure tempaerature in degrees Celsius?

No. In the United States of America, you measure in degrees Fahrenheit.


What are the units of temperature called?

The units or measurement of temperature are in degrees. You can measure degrees in either Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.In the US we measure in Fahrenheit degrees. In the metric system, you also use Celsius degrees. However, the SI unit of temperature is called the kelvin. It depends on where you are and what kind of temperatures you are measuring.oC,oF and K (statements of Kelvin temperatures do NOT use the degree mark)

How does it measure heat energy?

Heat energy is measured as temperature in Kelvins [K] (also degrees Celsius [°C] and degrees Fahrenheit [°F]) and tells us the average kinetic energy of the molecules.

How do you convert the temperature from French to us?

France uses the Celsius scale and the US uses the Fahrenheit scale. Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32); Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. For example, suppose you have a Fahrenheit temperature of 98.6 degrees and you wanted to convert it into degrees on the Celsius scale. Using the above formula, you would first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and get 66.6 as a result. Then you multiply 66.6 by five-ninths and get the converted value of 37 degrees Celsius. Below is the formula to convert a Celsius scale temperature into degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. Tf = (9/5)*Tc+32; Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Assume that you have a Celsius scale temperature of 100 degrees and you wish to convert it into degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. Using the stated formula, you first multiply the Celsius scale temperature reading by nine-fifths and get a result of 180. Then add 32 to 180 and get the final converted result of 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.


What is the unit used to measure temperature in US?

What is the unit used to measure temperature?

Most commonly degrees Celsius (or Centigrade). Many scientists use Kelvin but that is a simple linear transform of deg C. The US is the only major country that is still stuck with degrees Fahrenheit.
