Which temperature scale is part of the english system of measurements?

∙ 12y ago
The Fahrenheit scale (named for Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit) was used in the English system of measurement, until generally replaced by the Celsius (centigrade) scale.
Fahrenheit is still used in the US, but almost exclusively for:
- public weather statements (air temperatures and dew points)
- body temperatures
- oven temperatures

but the zero of the scale is at -459.67

Is Celsius English or Metric measure?
The centigrade temperature scale in the Metric system was renamed in honour of Charles Celsius.
What scale do they use in the metric system to measure temperature?
Celsius.
What Swedish astronomer in 1742 developed a temperature measurement system?
Anders Celsius developed a scale for temperature measurement in 1742 that used the freezing and boiling points of water as its basis. This became know as both the Centigrade Scale and the Celsius Scale.
Is cups a part of the metric system?
Celsius is a measurement of temperature. Celsius takes the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water, and divides the temperature difference into 100 equal degrees, calling freezing zero, and boiling one hundred. The same sized degrees are used to extend the scale below zero and above one hundred. The SI unit of temperature is the kelvin. the kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, and the units are the same size as degrees celsius, so the freezing point of water is 273.16K. Measurements in kelvin are not called degrees.
What is the corresponding celsius scale temperature of ok kelvin scale temperature?
I Don't know (x
What is the temperature scale used in the English system of measurement?
The Fahrenheit scale was traditionally used in the English system of measurement until largely supplanted by the Celsius scale. Measurements in the Fahrenheit scale are generally used only in the US, almost exclusively for air temperatures, body temperatures, and oven temperatures.Another scale that uses English degree units is the Rankine scale, which is based on absolute zero.
What type of thermometer is used by a scientist?
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
How do you spell 'ferinhite' - the opposite of 'Celsius'?
The spelling is "Fahrenheit", an English temperature scale, while "Celsius" is the metric scale. The measurements are not "opposite", merely on a different scale.
What is used to absolute temperature in the English system of measurement?
The Rankine scale is used. On that scale, you use Fahrenheit-size degrees, but the zero of the scale is at -459.67
What is a scale commonly used by scientists for measuring temperature?
The scientific standard for laboratory temperature measurements is usually the Centigrade scale, also known as Celsius.
Who were the scientists behind the temperature measurements scales?
The scientists who were behind the temperature measurements scale were quite a number. Galileo Galilei invented the water thermoscope, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was responsible for the Fahrenheit scale, Kelvin scale was invented by Lord Kelvin and Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale.
What scale is the same as the celsius scale?
Kelvin. Both Celsius and Kelvin are measurements of temperature in the metric system, and both have the same size of degree. The only difference between them is that Kelvin has been shifted down the scale so that 0 degrees Kelvin is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.
Is Celsius English or Metric measure?
The centigrade temperature scale in the Metric system was renamed in honour of Charles Celsius.
The Richter scale is based on measurements of?
The Richter scale is based on measurements of *Amplitude*. (^_^)
How do you spell farinhaight?
The English scale for temperature is "Fahrenheit" (°F).
What advantage does the Kelvin scale have for scientific measurements?
An advantage of the Kelvin scale is that all the temperatures on this scale are positive. Another advantage is that the temperature in Kelvin is directly proportional to the total internal energy of the substance: if you double the internal energy, you will double the temperature in Kelvin.
What additional information is obtained from measurements on an interval scale compared to measurements on an ordinal scale?
whether the measurements are the same or different
