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
When will Celsius Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales temperatures be equal and how?
Celsius and Fahrenheit will be equal at -40 degrees, while Celsius and Kelvin will be equal at -273.15 degrees. This is because they are offset by different values: 0 degrees Celsius is equal to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 273.15 Kelvin.
What are some different scales of temperature?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin
What are 3 temperature scales?
Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin
What are Celsius Fahrenheit and Kelvin?
They are all temperature scales.
What are the three temerature scales?
Kelvin Celsius Fahrenheit
What are some of temperature scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin
Kelvin Celsius and Fahrenheit are three types of scales.?
Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale where 0K is absolute zero, Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling points of water (0°C and 100°C), and Fahrenheit is commonly used in the United States and based on a scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.
What are 3 temperature scales used?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Temperature is measured in what three scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
What are the names of the 3 temperature scales?
