Temperature Scales Explained

Celsius Scale (°C)

Inventor
Anders Celsius
Year
1742
Freezing Point
0°C
Boiling Point
100°C

Celsius is used worldwide for everyday temperature measurements. It's based on the freezing (0°C) and boiling (100°C) points of water at sea level. Used in science and most countries except the USA.

Fahrenheit Scale (°F)

Inventor
Daniel Fahrenheit
Year
1724
Freezing Point
32°F
Boiling Point
212°F

Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements. It's based on a brine solution freezing at 0°F and human body temperature at 96°F (later adjusted to 98.6°F).

Kelvin Scale (K)

Inventor
Lord Kelvin
Year
1848
Absolute Zero
0 K
Freezing Point
273.15 K

Kelvin is the SI unit for thermodynamic temperature. It starts at absolute zero (0 K), the point where all molecular motion ceases. Used in scientific and engineering applications. No degree symbol is used with Kelvin.
