The three most common temperature scales are Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. The illustration below shows identical liquid filled thermometers. Each is calibrated with one of the three temperature scales. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales show the boiling point for water at 212oF and 100oC.The freezing point for water is 32oF and 0oC. The size of the degrees is different.he Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same size degree, but have different 'zero' or starting points. The freezing point for water is 0oC and 273.15 in the Kelvin scale. Conversions between the Kelvin and Celsius require the addition or subtraction of 273.15.
There is a fundamental difference between temperature and heat. Heat is the amount of energy in a system. The SI units for heat are Joules. A Joule is a Newton times a meter.nergy is transported by conduction as molecules vibrate, rotate and/or collide into each other. Heat is moved along similar to dominos knocking down their neighbors in a chain reaction. An increase of electromagnetic radiation into a system causes the molecules to vibrate, rotate and/or move faster.
