It is 1.8 (or 9/5) times smaller than a Kelvin

In other words, if you have a change of 100K, that is 180 F change, F being a smaller unit

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.


Is one kelvin unit equivalent to 1 Fahrenheit?

No.1 Kelvin degree is equal to 1 Celsius degree. Kelvin starts at - 273.15 oC but each degree has the same size Kelvin and Celsius.


Describe how a change in temperature of 1 degree differs on the Fahrenheit Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales?

A change of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equal to a change of 0.56 degrees Celsius or 0.56 Kelvin. The Fahrenheit scale has a larger degree size compared to the Celsius and Kelvin scales, which results in smaller incremental changes.


One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as what in Fahrenheit and Kelvin?

The size of a "degree" on the Kelvin scale is identical to the size of a Celsius degree. So a change (up or down) of 1°C is the same as a change of 1 Kelvin. The size of a Fahrenheit degree is much smaller. A change of 1°C (up or down) is the same as a change of 1.8° on the Fahrenheit scale. Example : 10° C = 283.15 K = 50° F 11° C = 284.15 K = 51.8° F


One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as A. one degree Fahrenheit B. one degree kelvin C. 59 degree Fahrenheit or D. 95 kelvin?

A change of one degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as a change of (B) one Kelvin. (Isn't it easier to say that Kelvins are the same size as Celsius degrees ?)


What does K degrees mean?

"K" stands for Kelvin. There is a Kelvin thermometer, different from Celsius and Fahrenheit.Answer:Kelvin is a temperature scale named after Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), who wrote of the need for an "absolute thermometric scale".. Each degree Kelvin is the same size as a Celsius degree and 1.8 times as big as a Fahrenheit degree. The starting point for the Kelvin scale is absolute zero (0oK = -273oC or -460oF)


How is the size of the defined on the Celsius scale?

The size of one degree Celsius on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one degree Kelvin on the Kelvin scale. This means that the size of the degree is the same on both Celsius and Kelvin scales, with the only difference being the zero point.


How does the size of one degree Celsius compare with that of one degree Fahrenheit?

One degree Celsius represents a larger temperature change than one degree Fahrenheit. Specifically, a change of one degree Celsius is equivalent to a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the Fahrenheit scale has smaller increments, making it less sensitive than the Celsius scale for measuring temperature changes.


How many Fahrenheit is a centigrade?

A Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a centigrade degree.


What one degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one unit temperature change on the what temperature scale?

No, the "degrees" have the same name but are different sizes. (Celsius degrees are larger intervals than Fahrenheit degrees.) A change of 1 degree Celsius is the same as a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.


Which is larger a Celsius degree or a Fahrenheit degree?

A Celsius degree is 1.8 times the size of a Fahrenheit degree, or 80% larger.


How many Fahrenheit degrees to a Celsius degree?

1ºC = 33.8ºF A Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree.
