The most immediately useful and important nowadays are kelvins, Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine. Many others were proposed and/or used during the 17th through 19th centuries: Amonton, Barnsdorf, Beaumuir, Bergen, Brisson, Crucquins, De Luc, Le Lyon, De la Hire, Delancé, Delisle, Ducrest, Edinburgh, Florentine (at least two of those), Fowler, Hales, Hanow, Kirch, La Court, Lange, Leyden, Ludolf, Miles, Murray, Newton, Paris, Poleni, Réaumur, Rømer, Richter, Royal Society of London, Sagredo, Sulzer, and Wedgwood. As you may suspect, the last one was designed for use in pottery kilns.
All of those are linear scales, but there is at least one that's logarithmic, named after its inventor physicist John Dalton (1766-1844). Here, absolute zero registers -infinity D; freezing (273.15 kelvins), 0 D; boiling (373.15 kelvins), 100 D; the melting point of gold (1337 kelvins), around 500 D; and so forth. This comes in handy when you're plotting vast differences in temperature among star types, for example.

What two standard scales for measuring temperature?
Fahrenheit&Celsius Yarden, Israel.
Is Celsius more warm than Fahrenheit?
No, Celsius and Fahrenheit are just different scales for measuring temperature. A temperature in Celsius can be the same as, or warmer than, a temperature in Fahrenheit, depending on the specific values being compared.
You can measure how hot something is in?
You can measure how hot something is in degrees Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin. These temperature scales are commonly used for measuring the hotness of objects.
How many types of temperature scales?
There are three main temperature scales commonly used worldwide: Celsius (also known as centigrade), Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Each scale has a different zero point and different intervals for measuring temperature.
What are the divice for measuring weight?
Some devices used for measuring weight include weighing scales, balance scales, spring scales, and electronic scales. These devices typically display weight in units such as pounds, kilograms, or grams.
What is the relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?
They are scales for measuring temperature.
How does each scales work?
Scales work by measuring things. Thermometer scales work by measuring the temperature of the air and certain liquids for example.

What are Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Celsius and Fahrenheit are two common temperature scales used to measure temperature. In Celsius, water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees, while in Fahrenheit, water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.
What is the differ between air and temperature thermometer?
