What is the number assigned to the temperature at which water freezes is 32, and when 212 is assigned to the temperature at which water boils called?

• Farenheit

• Celsius

• Degrees

• Temperature

What is the scale called where the number 0 is assigned to the temperature at which water freezes. The number 100 is assigned to the temperature at which water boils. The interval between freezing and boiling is divided into 100 equal parts, called degrees Celsius.

• Farenheit scale

• Celsius Scale

• Temperature

• Scales

Water freezes at 32 degrees on which temperature

scale?

• Farenheit

• Celsius

• Both scales

• Freezing point scale

Units on this scale are the same size as those on the Celsius scale. Any temperature on the this scale can be changed to Celsius by subtracting 273 from it, which scale is it?

• Farenheit

• Kelvin

• Celsius

• All of the above

Experiments lead scientists to believe that -273 is the lowest temperature possible, so the Kelvin scale is defined so that zero on the scale is what?

• Kelvins

• Thermal heat

• Celsius

• Absolute zero
