Understanding Temperature Scales

Temperature measures how hot or cold something is. The three most common scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

Celsius (°C)

Part of the Metric system, the Celsius scale is used by most of the world. It is based on the freezing and boiling points of water.

**0°C:** Freezing point of water
**100°C:** Boiling point of water

Fahrenheit (°F)

Part of the Imperial system, the Fahrenheit scale is used primarily in the United States. It is also based on the freezing and boiling points of water, but with different values.

**32°F:** Freezing point of water
**212°F:** Boiling point of water

Kelvin (K)

Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute scale, meaning **0 K** is **absolute zero**, the point where all atomic motion stops. It is primarily used in science and engineering.

**0 K:** Absolute Zero (-273.15°C)
**273.15 K:** Freezing point of water (0°C)
