No, it's on the cool side. Moderate is around 70. The higher the number, the warmer it is.

It really depends upon which scale of temperature you are using. On the Centigrade/Celsius scale 56 degrees is a reasonably comfortable temperature, though 60 degrees would be better. However, if you are using the Fahrenheit scale the 56 degrees would be equivalent to 13.33333(recurring) Centigrade, a much colder temperature.
Why was 37 grades C the optimal incubation temperature?
37 degrees Celsius is considered the optimal incubation temperature because it closely mimics the body temperature of birds, which are common in egg incubation. This temperature allows for proper embryonic development and maximizes hatch rates. Fluctuations in temperature outside of this range can adversely affect embryo development and hatchability.
How does temperature affect the types of organisms in an area?
not really answering the question
an increase in temperature can lead to:
- can allow non-native species to enter the area, they may out compete the native species for food, light and space- a high profile example of this in the UK is the ring-necked parakeets
- may cause organisms to move into areas better suited to their range of tolerance- many species in the UK are moving Northward because of an increase in temperature
- new species may colonise the area- such as the egret in the UK
- earlier laying date for many common birds and amphibians
- earlier arrival and later deprature for migratory birds
- later leaf fall for many broad leaf trees in Autumn
- earlier appearance of toad stalls and mushroom in Autumn
- earlier leafing and flowering of many tree shrubs and flowering plants
- high sea water levels (due to land ice melting and thermal expansion of water) will cause increase erosion and flooding which is detrimental for low laying habitats such as wetlands
No, the boiling point of water on the Kelvin scale is 373.15 K, while on the Celsius scale it is 100°C. These two values are equivalent as they represent the same physical phenomenon, just on different temperature scales.
What formula is converted from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
you can convert using this formula where (F) is the Fahrenheit you want to get and (C) is the Celsius you want to convert from
What is -89.2 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?
The answer is 362.15 K (approx.). The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero and is used in scientific laboratories. Celsius is for general use and set 0 and 100 as melting and boiling point of water respectively. To convert from C to K, add 273.15 to C.
How hot is electric underfloor heating in fahrenheit?
Electric underfloor heating is installed with a thermostat. Therefore, you can adjust the temperature to your personal liking just like people are used to with forced circulation air.
What is hotter 10 degrees Celsius or 20 degrees Celsius?
20 degrees Celsius is hotter than 10 degrees Celsius.
Which scale boils the water to 100 degrees?
If you mean the temperature of boiling water then Celsius or Centigrade scale
Does temperature bellow freezing point cause rock to break?
Yes, freezing temperatures can cause rocks to break through a process called freeze-thaw weathering. When water seeps into cracks in the rock and then freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the rock and eventually causing it to break apart.
What is the lowest possible temperature on the Celsius scale on the kelvin scale?
In theory it is 0 Kelvin. However, that temperature is physically impossible to attain. The current (2017) world record, set in 1999, stands at 100 picokelvins (pK), or 0.000 000 000 1 of a kelvin.
Explain why fires spread faster and are more intense at high temperatures?
Fires spread faster and are more intense at high temperatures because heat accelerates the rate of combustion, causing fuels to burn more quickly. Higher temperatures also evaporate the moisture in fuels more rapidly, making them more flammable and easier to ignite. Additionally, high temperatures create strong updrafts that can fan the flames and spread the fire rapidly.
Which temperature scale is commonly used in the United State?
Canada is the second largest country in the world. Where abouts are you talking about? You need to be more specific. You need to learn more about the geography of Canada before you ask this. Some parts have Polar bears so you need to be more specific
How many Kelvins equal 100 celsius?
100 degrees Celsius equals 373 degrees kelvin. Kelvin is roughly the temperature in Celsius plus 273.
How cold is - 200 degrees Celsius?
-200 degrees Celsius is extremely cold. This temperature is well below freezing and is equivalent to -328 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, most materials would be frozen solid and extremely brittle.
What does 37.8 Celsius equal in Fahrenheit?
Temperature Fahrenheit = Temperature Celsius(1.80) + 32
Temperature Fahrenheit = (37.8 degrees Celsius) * (1.80) + 32
Temperature Fahrenheit = 100.04 degrees

What is 48 deg Fahrenheit in Celsius?
The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
C = (F - 32) x (5/9)
in other words, to get Celsius (C) take 32 off Fahrenheit (F) and multiply by five ninths.
The constant 5/9 is the factor difference between the two scales, the difference between freezing and boiling water in in Celsius is 100 degrees, but in Fahrenheit is 180 degrees (water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees, 212 minus 32 = 180), 100/180 can be simplified to 5/9 (20 is the highest number they can both be divided by and goes into 100 five times and into 180 nine times).
The constant 32 is because the Fahrenheit scale starts at the freezing point of salt water whereas Celsius starts at the freezing point of fresh water, the freezing point of fresh water in the Fahrenheit scale is 32 degrees.
So to answer your question, if we take 32 off 48 we get 16, multiply this by five ninths by deviding 16 by 9 and multiplying the answer by 5. This gives us 8.9 (rounded to the nearest decimal place).
Therefore 48 degrees Fahrenheit is 8.9 degrees Celsius.
Instead of using the rather awkward fraction nine fifths we can also use the constant 1.8 like this:
C = (F - 32) / 1.8
8.9 = (48 - 32) / 1.8
8.9 = 16 / 1.8
To convert back to Fahrenheit we would either invert the fraction 5/9 to become 9/5, or use the constant 1.8, i.e.:
F = 1.8 C + 32
or
F = C x (9/5) + 32
Can you convert 37.4 Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Of course your can! You can convert any temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vise versa. 37.4°C=99.32°F.
Why do most pathogens grow well at 37 degrees?
Most pathogens grow well at 37 degrees Celsius because this is the normal body temperature of mammals, including humans. This temperature provides an ideal environment for pathogens to thrive and replicate within the host's body.
The freezing point of an aqueous solution will be lower than 0°C (32°F) if the boiling point is elevated above 100°C. The freezing point depression is a colligative property dependent on the concentration of solute particles in the solution. To determine the specific freezing point, more information on the solute and its concentration is required.
It's typically near freezing or not too far below. When you get below 15-20 degrees F, it becomes difficult for the air to hold very much moisture, so if it snows it will not generally snow heavily.
But under certain conditions it can snow at a few degrees above freezing, though it rarely sticks to the surface. It is possible to snow when the temperature is in the 40's, but this requires unusual atmospheric conditions and rarely lasts long.
How long can you survive in 14.6 degrees Celsius?
Survival time in 14.6 degrees Celsius depends on factors like clothing, activity level, and individual health. In general, prolonged exposure to temperatures around 15°C can lead to hypothermia within a few hours, especially if not dressed appropriately or active in generating heat.Immediate warmth and medical attention may be necessary to prevent serious health risks.
What is the lowest temperature that a thermometer can go to?
The lowest temperature that a standard mercury or alcohol thermometer can typically measure is around -39°C to -40°C. Below this temperature, the liquid inside the thermometer may freeze, rendering it ineffective for measuring further drops in temperature. Digital thermometers may have a lower limit depending on their design and the type of sensor they use.
