Temperature

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. It is a fundamental concept in science and everyday life. In most countries, temperature is measured using the Celsius scale or the Fahrenheit scale.

Scales of Temperature

1. Celsius (°C): The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees. It is commonly used in most countries around the world.

2. Fahrenheit (°F): The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point of water at 212 degrees. It is used in the United States and a few other countries.

Temperature Conversion

Converting temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit can be done using the following formulas:

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
F = (C x 9/5) + 32

To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
C = (F - 32) x 5/9

Uses of Temperature

Temperature is used in various scientific fields such as physics, chemistry, and meteorology. It is also important in everyday activities, such as cooking, weather forecasting, and maintaining comfortable living conditions.
