Fahrenheit was developed in Germany and the theory was that zero was as low as it could get, so water's melting point was set at 32 degrees and boiling was arbitrarily set at 212. Celsius is easy- water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. Kelvin uses the Celsius gradients, but zero really is as cold as it can get. Absolute zero- no heat energy at all.

What are the names of the 3 temperature scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
What are the three types of thermonmeter scales?
The types of thermonmeter scales are: -- Fahrenheit -- Kelvin -- Celsius -- Rankin
How does the size of one degree Celsius compare with that of one degree Fahrenheit and one degree Kelvin?
The size of the degree is the same in the Kelvin and Celsius scales.
How many degrees is 13 degrees celsius?
The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are not absolute scales so the question cannot be answered easily. Absolute temperature is measured in Kelvin (not degrees Kelvin) and 13 deg C is approx 286.15 K.
What is the lowest temperature on the Kelvin scale?
Zero. Other scales like Celsius and Fahrenheit have negative numbers. Kelvin starts at zero.it may actually be absolute zero
