Is unsalted butter healthy then normal butter?
Not really if you are not on a salt restricted diet: the amount of salt in butter isn't too high unless you are eating a lot of it. The reason for unsalted butter is that some recipes that use a lot of butter might taste a little too salty if you use the salted kind (shortbread, for example). Also, if the butter is not salted you can better control how much salt goes in the final recipe. HOwever, unsalted butter does not last nearly as long because salt is a preservative, so you should use it quickly and freeze it if you are keeping it more than a few days.
Is ambient temperature room temperature?
Simply put, ambient temperature is the temperature that surrounds a point of interest. It is the average temperature in the area of focus. For instance, if we were inside an industrial complex and we were examining the ambient temperature of a large room we would have to consider what is contributing to that temperature. Is the large room empty or is there machinery or people that are generating heat in that area? All the sources of heat and cool would average out in that area and that temperature would be the ambient temperature.
Room temperature is comfortable to live in and is generally determined to be around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit).
The ambient temperature of a house (inside) that is at room temperature would be the same (20 degrees Celsius), but the ambient temperature outside on a winters day would be much cooler than room temperature, maybe even freezing.
The temperature given on the news or at a location is the ambient temperature for that area.
