Measurement of Temperature
Measurement of Temperature Temperature is the measurement of the hotness and coldness of a body. It is measured with the help of a device called thermometer. The three units in which temperature is measured are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Hence, there are three different scales for measuring temperature. Every unit can be converted to another unit with the help of a conversion formula that we are going to study in this lesson. What Is Temperature? The definition of temperature says that it is a measure of the hotness and coldness of a body. It is not easy to give an exact definition of temperature. Based on our physiological sensations, we can express the level of temperature qualitatively with words like hot, cold, warm, etc. Temperature is simply an average measure of the kinetic energy for particles of matter, the more is their kinetic energy, the higher the temperature of the body/object.
