What are the customary units for measuring temperature?

Answer 1

If you are in the United States at the surface, you should use Fahrenheit.
If you are in the upper atmosphere or the surface anywhere besides the United States, you should use Celsius.
If you are performing calculations, it's usually best to use Kelvin, which has no negative temperatures. It depends on the equation though.

Conversions:
F = 9/5*C+32
K = C + 273

There is another unit called the Rankine. I'm not sure if anyone uses it anymore...maybe engineers. It is basically the Fahrenheit equivalent of Kelvin.

R = F + 459

Answer 2

Scientifically temperatures are measured in degrees Kelvin or Celsius. These units are the same but zero is in differnt places. In the USA, the general public uses degrees Fahrenheit - but no-one else in the world does.

Answer 3

The customary units for measuring temperature are degree Celsium, degree Fehrenheit, and Kelvin

Answer 4

it truly is planned lack of understanding as displayed by ability of different solutions here. those dupes think of they are meant to stroll outdoors theirs door and notice a .2 degree develop in step with decade interior the temperature. men, you will possibly desire to have some very mushy receptors on your pores and skin. i ask your self whether the sand is any warmer 3 ft under the exterior the place their heads are buried.

Answer 5

I only know of fahrenheit celcius and the Kelvin scales. The kelvin scale records absolute zero. (there is really no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat!)
