The Celsius degree uses the boiling and freezing temperature as a base for indicating temperature. 0 degrees Celsius is the temperature at which water freezes and boils at a 100 degrees Celsius. The kelvin degree has the same "amount" of heat between each degree but uses the absolute coldest point as zero (-275 C and -463 F). To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius you subtract 38 and divide by 1.8 ( (F-38)/1.8=C) and Celsius to Fahrenheit you take C*1.8+38. The Fahrenheit degree uses human body temperature as base which is approximately 37-38 C and 100 F.

Which is larger an object's celsius temperature or it's kelvin temperature?
Its Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero and goes up. Absolute zero on the celsius scale is -273.15oC
What is the temperature 34 celsius expressed in kelvins?
Ah, isn't that a lovely temperature! To convert Celsius to Kelvin, you simply add 273. So, 34 degrees Celsius is equal to 307 Kelvin. Just like adding a touch of light to a painting, converting temperatures can bring a new perspective and understanding to the beauty of science.
What scale is easier for people to use Fahrenheit or celsius?
Either - it all depends what you learnt when growing up, or have adapted to as you've grown older. The Fahrenheit scale is almost twice the size of the Celsius scale (between freezing and boiling on Celsius there are 100 degrees, but on the Fahrenheit there are 180 degrees) meaning that smaller temperature differences show up as a larger difference with the Fahrenheit scale than with the Celsius scale. They are just as easy as each other, though scientists prefer Kelvin which has the same unit differences as Celsius but starting with 0 K = -273.15oC (water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K). The Fahrenheit scale was originally intended to be 0oF = freezing point of brine, nominally 32oF = freezing point of water and 96oF = normal body temperature, but later scientists redefined the scale slightly so that water did freezer at exactly 32o F which made body temperature 98.4oF.
If a wire has insulation that allows it to operate in a temperature of up 194 degrees Fahrenheit what temperature will the wire operate up to in degrees Celsius?
90 Degrees Celsius
If a wire has insulation that allows it to operate in a temperature of up to 194 degrees Fahrenheit what temperature will the wire operate uopt to in degrees celsius?
Use the formula: C = (5/9)(F-32) The answer is 90 degrees Celsius.
