Explain the difference between the three different scale used to measure temperature.
Answers
sorry mate I did not know....
Answer:
There are three units of temperature—degree Celsius (°C), degree Fahrenheit (°F) and Kelvin (K). Accordingly, there are three different temperature scales— Celsius scale, Fahrenheit scale and Kelvin scale.
Explanation:
Celsius scale
It is the most commonly used scale to measure the temperature. It was devised by Anders Celsius. On this scale, the melting point of pure water is taken as 0°C and the boiling point of pure water is taken as 100°C. The interval between the two fixed points of this scale is divided into 100 equal parts, where each part is 1°C.
Fahrenheit scale
This scale was devised by Gabriel Fahrenheit. On this scale, the melting point of the pure water is taken as 32°F and the boiling point is taken as 212°F. The interval between the two fixed points of this scale is divided into 180 equal parts, where each part is 1°F.
Kelvin scale This scale was invented by Lord Kelvin. Kelvin is also the SI unit of temperature. On this scale, the melting point of water is taken as 273 K and boiling point is taken as 373 K. The scale is divided into 100 equal parts, where each part is 1 K.
