temperature scale
Heat measurement standard
A temperature scale is a system for measuring and expressing degrees of heat or cold.
Common scales include Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin, each using different reference points—Celsius sets water's freezing at zero, while Fahrenheit places it at thirty-two.
Converting between scales requires formulas because they don't share a common zero or equal intervals.
