The Three Primary Scales
Temperature measurement is unique because unlike length or weight, it doesn't always start at zero. Understanding the relationship between these scales is vital for science and everyday life.
Celsius (°C)
The global standard for non-scientific temperature measurement. It is based on the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of water.
Fahrenheit (°F)
Primarily used in the United States. In this scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.
Kelvin (K)
The primary scale used in physical sciences. It starts at Absolute Zero (0 K), the point at which all molecular motion ceases.
