Temperature Scales Explained

Celsius (°C)
The Celsius scale is used in most countries worldwide. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at sea level. It's the standard unit for weather forecasts and everyday temperature measurements.
Fahrenheit (°F)
Primarily used in the United States. Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at sea level. The scale was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century.
Kelvin (K)
The Kelvin scale is the SI unit for temperature, used in scientific research. Absolute zero (0 K) is the theoretical temperature where all molecular motion stops. Water freezes at 273.15 K.
