What does -12 Celsius mean?
It means the temperature is 12 degrees Celsius (or 12o Centigrade, or 12 Kelvin) below the freezing point of pure water at normal pressure.
Can centigrade and Fahrenheit be negative?
Yes, they can. Centigrade (Celsius) can go as low as -273.15 degrees C. The same temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is -459.67 degrees -- both indicate absolute zero (0K). A notable difference caused by having "degrees" of two different sizes and definitions is that negative temperatures on Celsius indicate "below the freezing point of water" (0 degrees C), while below freezing on the Fahrenheit scale includes positive values from 31 down to 0, the freezing point being 32 degrees F.
What is sub zero?
Sub-zero is anything that is less than zero. That means that-1 degree, -2 degrees, -3 degrees, etc. are all 'sub-zero'. To be complete, you also have to specify whether you are talking centigrade or Fahrenheit. When centigrade, it just means the same as below freezing (0 degrees centigrade). When Fahrenheit, sub zero is starting to be seriously cold since freezing is +32 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the change in temperature between 15 degrees below zero and 8 degrees below zero?
A rise of 7°
What is the corresponding number for the temperature of -7 degrees below zero?
-7 degrees below zero is 7 degrees above zero.-7 degrees below zero is 7 degrees above zero.-7 degrees below zero is 7 degrees above zero.-7 degrees below zero is 7 degrees above zero.
What is the coldest temperature past freezing point?
The coldest temperature below freezing point is -273 degrees centigrade
What 2 ways can you change density of water?
By cooling it below 4 degrees centigrade whereupon its density will decrease. By heating it above 4 degrees centigrade whereupon its density will decrease. Water is at its densest at about 4 degrees centigrade.
What is the temperature of the ice with and without salt?
The temperature is what you set it to be. The question "what is the freezing point", is different : the more salt the lower the freezing point, to a limit a few degrees below 0 degrees centigrade.
How low does the temperature have to be for snow?
Snow is made from Ice crystals. Thus for snow to form and precipitate, the ambient / air temperature must be below 0 degrees Centigrade.
How low does the temperature have to be snow?
Snow is made from Ice crystals. Thus for snow to form and precipitate, the ambient / air temperature must be below 0 degrees Centigrade.
What is the definiton of water in biology?
binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent
Why the boiling point of liquid hydrogen chloride gas is negative and what does negative sign mean?
Negative temperatures mearly mean that they are below zero degrees. 0 degrees centigrade is the temperature that water freezes/melts at. Any chemical which is a gas at 0 dgrees Centigrade must have boiled at a lower temperautre than 0 degrees. If this temperature was for example 50 degrees lower than 0 degrees Centigrade you would write it as -50C, if it was 118 degrees below zero you would write it as -118C. However if the same temperatures were measured on the Kelvin temperature scale they would all be positive as it not possible to go lower than 0 degrees Kelvin. That temperature is called Absolute Zero.
Why is there fog in the winter?
Condensate is the correct term, Human breath will condense ( for a water vapor) when the outside temperature ( static, not wind chill) is at or below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or l0 degrees centigrade. This is some distance between the freezing point of water, 32 degrees F, or 0 Centigrade. If you can see your breath it is fifty degrees or below this mark. Handy rule of thumb.
Why do you need the freezer turned on to make Ice?
Ice will only form from water once water is cooled to below 0 degrees Centigrade. A freezer requires energy (ie it needs to be turned on) in order to pump heat out of the freezing compartment to lower the temperature in this compartment to below 0 degrees Centigrade. If the freezer is not turned on the temperature in the freezing compartment will be that of the room in which the freezer is kept.
At what degrees does water freeze?
0 degrees centigrade 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Is water a solid liquid or gas at 0 degrees c?
When water reaches 0 degrees centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) it begins to change to ice, a solid. This process of changing to ice can be very slow with the temperature changing throughout the day, water also doesn't instantly change to ice when the temperature hits 0 degrees centigrade, it takes time. The amount of time it takes varies on how far the temperature goes below 0 degrees centigrade. We also call 0 degrees centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) the freezing point. To answer your question water can be either a solid or a liquid at the freezing point depending on if it's already ice, or it was water before.
What is the temperature at 10000 ft below sea level?
At 10,000 feet below sea level in the ocean, the temperature hovers at about 4 degrees centigrade. On solid ground, at 10,000 feet down, the rock is hot enough to boil water.
