Question

How are the three temperature scales alike? How are they different?

# temp. scales= Celcius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

Answer 1

Units of Temperature
from fahrenheit to celsius to kelvin and back


Degrees Fahrenheit, (developed in the early 1700's by G. Daniel Fahrenheit), are used to record surface temperature measurements by meteorologists in the United States. However, since most of the rest of the world uses degrees Celsius (developed in the 18th Century), it is important to be able to convert from units of degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius:
C=(F-32)/1.8



Kelvin is another unit of temperature that is very handy for many scientific calculations, since it begins at absolute zero, meaning it has no negative numbers. (Note...the word "degrees" is NOT used with Kelvin.) The way to convert from degrees Celsius to Kelvin is:

K=C +273

Answer 2

Celsius degrees and Kelvin degrees are the same size, but they are 1.8 times bigger than a Fahrenheit degree.

The Celsius scale and the Fahrenheit scale match up at -40 degrees, but the Kelvin scale doesn't ever match up.

Celsius and Kelvin were both named for someone....I don't know about the Fahrenheit, you will have to look that one up.

That should get you started.
