Introduction
Measuring temperature is crucial for various scientific and practical applications, like understanding weather patterns, optimizing industrial processes, and diagnosing medical conditions.
Absolute vs. Relative Temperature Scales
Absolute temperature scales (Kelvin, Rankine) measure temperature from absolute zero (-273.15 °C or -459.67 °F), whereas relative scales (Celsius, Fahrenheit) measure temperature relative to arbitrary reference points.
Conversion Formulas
Kelvin and Celsius scales are related by the formula: K = °C + 273.15. However, converting between Kelvin and Fahrenheit requires a different formula: K = (°F + 459.67) / 1.8.
