Question

explain three scales pf temperature

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three temperature scales in use today, Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. Fahrenheit temperature scale is a scale based on 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts.

Answer 2

Question: Explain the three temperature scales.

Solution: We use different units to measure temperature and these different units are represented by different scales. The 3 scales used are:

• Celsius scale: The melting point of ice is taken as 0°C and boiling point of water as 100°C. The difference between these two points is divided into 100 degrees.
• Fahrenheit scale: The melting point of ice is taken as 32°F and boiling point of water as 212°F. The difference between these two points is divided into 180 degrees.
• Kelvin scale: The melting point of ice on Kelvin scale is 273°K and boiling point of water is 373.15°K.
