Temperature Units Introduction
Celsius (°C) represents the division between the freezing point and boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure. Specifically, 0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water. Celsius is commonly used to describe temperatures in daily life, cooking, and scientific experiments. For example, room temperature is typically around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Kelvin (K) is used in scientific and engineering fields. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is the theoretical lowest temperature, corresponding to -273.15 degrees Celsius. Specifically, 1 Kelvin has the same temperature difference as 1 degree Celsius (1 K = 1 °C). Kelvin is commonly used to describe temperatures in physics and chemistry, such as in low-temperature experiments and thermodynamic studies.
Fahrenheit (°F) is primarily used in the United States and some Commonwealth countries. Specifically, 32 degrees Fahrenheit is the freezing point of water, and 212 degrees Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water. Fahrenheit is commonly used to describe temperatures in daily life and cooking. For example, room temperature is typically around 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rankine (°R) is primarily used in engineering fields and starts at absolute zero. The Rankine scale has the same temperature difference as the Fahrenheit scale (1 °R = 1 °F), but its starting point is absolute zero. Specifically, 0 Rankine equals -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
