Document Summary

First let"s start off with the 3 types of temperature measurement units: Kelvin (k) is the si unit for temperature. Celsius (c) is the most used temperature measurement unit around the world. Fahrenheit (f) is a unit of temperature used in the united states and nowhere else. The conversion between these units is as such: Now let"s look at some basic examples of conversion to get used to it: *first we need to get celsius since kelvin is based off celsius, not fahrenheit: c = (32-32)x(5/9) = 0 c, k = 0 c + 273 = 273 kelvin. In case you didn"t know, 0 degrees celsius is the freezing point of water and. 100 degrees celsius is the boiling point of water. By doing the math, we also derived that 32 degrees fahrenheit is the freezing point of water in terms of. Fahrenheit and that 273 degrees kelvin is the freezing point of water in terms of kelvin.
