What is difference between Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin?
Kelvin is the temperature scale devised and used to measure
temperature from the melting point of ice (0 deg Celsius) down to absolute zero, the total absence of heat. Celsius and Fahrenheit are mainly used to measure temperatures from the melting point of ice and up. Zero Kelvin is equal to −273.15 deg Celsius and -459.67 deg Fahrenheit. When Fahrenheit invented his 212 degree temperature scale it was thought that the absolute zero temperature was just 32 degrees of the scale below the melting point of ice. It later transpired that the absolute zero point was much lower, 427.67 deg Fahrenheit lower. The Celsius scale equally divides the temperature range between the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water into 100 equal parts. 0 deg Celsius is equal to 273.15 Kelvins and 32 deg Fahrenheit. The boiling point of water is 100 deg Celsius which is also 373.15 Kelvins and 212 deg Fahrenheit. The SI units are Kelvin and Celsius. Fahrenheit is becoming obsolete in the international arena.
