What unit of measurement is used to determine the hotness of a pepper?
Please see related links, where I have given a link to a web page which explains the most common scale for measuring pepper heat, Scoville Heat Units. The linked page including a chart showing where different peppers rank on the scale. I have also added a link to a Chile Pepper Institute page, Chile Heat, which shows how the Scoville units are calculated, as well as a more expensive and accurate method of measuring heat in a laboratory. All hot peppers get their heat from a naturally occurring chemical called capsaicin and the more capsaicin in a pepper, the higher it will rank on the scale. You can also go to any search engine and search for Scoville Heat Units.

Why are some Chile's hotter than others?
"Hotness" comes from the capsaicin in the pepper. Some, like green bell peppers, have none. Jalapenos have some. Sorrenos, more. Habaneros, a LOT more. The more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper. Now go look up Scoville Heat Units- that is the scale used to compare hotness. PS, hotter is not always better.
What scale do you use to measure how spicy a chili pepper is?
There is a "Scoville" scale that measures heat units. The hotness of a pepper is derived from the amount of the active ingredient capsaisin that it contains. Personally I like hot pepppers and can consume everything up to habaneros (with food). Beyond that, if there are any hotter, that's too much for me.
How many 50000 scale toposheets will fall in one 250000 scale toposheet?
There will be 25 50000 scale toposheets in one 250000 scale toposheet because 250,000 divided by 50,000 equals 5, and 5 squared is 25.
What is the degree of hotness or coldness measured on a scale?
The degree of hotness or coldness is measured on a scale called the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale. This scale quantifies temperature using degrees, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point of water and 100 degrees representing the boiling point of water on the Celsius scale. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees.
Are pimienta peppers hot peppers?
Yes they would be considered a hot pepper.Correction:Pimienta's are sweet peppers and rate a "negligible" on the Scoville scale of pepper hotness. They're the same as sweet green peppers in this.

What size is a 1 in 50000 scale map?
The scale doesn't tell you anything about the size of a map. If it's a 1:50000 scale, then the only thing you know about the map is that a pair of points that are 1 inch apart on the map are 50,000 inches apart in the real world.
