The most common are Kelvin, degrees Celsius and degrees Farenheit.

There are three basic units. You choose which one you used based on what you are doing with them.

Kelvin is the one used when we are discussing very cold temperatures. Zero degrees Kelvin is the temperature that you have to reach in order to stop all movement in the inside of atoms. 273.15 Kelvin is 100 degrees Celsius.

Celsius and Fahrenheit both have 100 degrees as their boiling points. It is their temperature for freezing that is different. In Fahrenheit the temperature for the freezing of water is 32 while in Celsius it is 0.
I heard once that 0 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature that salt water freezes while fresh water freezes at 32 degrees.

There are two things that determine whether you are going to use Fahrenheit or Celsius. First, are you using the Metric System (therefore Celsius) and how accurrate are you trying to be. Boiling in the Fahrenheit scale is 212 while Celsius is 100. Fahreneheit has a lot more divisions going from 32 to 212 so it is more accurate than the Celsius 0 to 100.

The units of temperature in Metric system is degree celcius and in the absolute value is kelvin, you can change it whether absolute or not. By adding 273 to the degree celcius.
The units of temperature in English system is degree fareinheight and in the absolute value is rankine, By adding 460 instead of 273 you will obtain the absolute value....

a million) Kelvin (image ok) is SI unit of temperature - by the way, celsius and tiers are an identical scale, and with fahrenheit they're used for common temperature measurements : 10°C, 50°F... 2) kilogram (image kg) is SI unit of mass - "decakilogram" is a multiple of the unit (10 kg) , and ounce and pound are relics of the *coughcough* irrelevant imperial unit equipment . 3) a thermometer is used to mesure temperature. a cylinder is for quantity, a ruler for length and a stability for mass 4) Giga is one thousand million (10^9), observed by kilo (1000, 10^3), then hecto(one hundred, 10^2) and milli (1000th , 10^-3 ) 5) there are categories of thermometers for various concern of measuring as an occasion laser technician who could cope with nano and micro kelvin desire very precise thermometers or for fever , as quickly as we use medicinal thermometers, suited for measurements around 39°C in rectal section or armpit ... and likewise pyrometer, which in many cases measures temperature by thermal radiation (as an occasion we are in a position to apply it for sparkling heated metals, or engine and digital components) 6) in the event that they be responsive to the density of the textile (which differs from each and each fabric to a diverse, and is expressed in kg/m³, i.e. water's : 1000 kg/m³ ) , they are in a position to weigh the cylinder and prepare the formulation : ?(density)=m(mass)/V(quantity) then V=m/? as an occasion you weigh a forty kg iron bar then V=m/? = forty/(6800) ? 0.006 m³ or if the cylinder isn't bruised or broken, the scholars can mesure its radius and its top to discover the quantity, by the formulation : V=?*r²h for a fifteen cm radius and 30 cm top-you could desire to transform to meters to obtain V in cubic meter : V=?*0.15²*0.3²?0.006 m³ (the numbers i chosen are completely random )

Farenheit, Celsius, Kelvin. Kelvin has no negative values since zero degrees Kelvin is absolute zero.
