A body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is considered the average normal body temperature for adults. It can vary slightly from person to person and throughout the day.
Because Anders Celsius said so. He developed his scale for measuring relative temperatures by assigning the freezing and boiling points as 0 and 100 degrees and dividing the difference into 100 equal increments.
A person could survive only a few minutes in freezing air without clothes before succumbing to hypothermia. The body loses heat rapidly in such extreme conditions, leading to a dangerous drop in core body temperature. It is crucial to seek shelter and warmth quickly to prevent serious injury or death.
Ear Thermometers are used to take a person's internal temperature via the ear. The average human's normal temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
No, it is not possible for someone to freeze instantly. The process of freezing typically occurs over time as a person's body temperature drops to dangerously low levels, which can lead to hypothermia and other serious medical complications.
