Temperature

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance or system. It quantifies the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or environment. The higher the temperature, the greater the average kinetic energy of the particles, and vice versa. Temperature is commonly measured using various scales, including Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). These scales have different reference points and increments for measuring temperature. The Celsius scale is based on the melting point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of water at standard atmospheric pressure. It is widely used in most countries for everyday temperature measurements. The Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the United States. It has its reference points at 32°F for the freezing point of water and 212°F for the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure. The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale commonly used in scientific and technical applications. It starts at abso...
