In your day to day life to measure temperature you probably use Fahrenheit(F)
or Celsius(C)but kelvin(K)is primarily used in physics. The Kelvin scale is a
thermal scale that uses absolute zero as its starting point. 0K, -273.15C,
and -459.67F all equal are absolute zero. Below I found a funny joke about
these scales.

I like how you gave information but at same time gave some facts that most wouldn't know. Some of the information was actually really cool.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kayla
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool because when we hear the temperature outside or of an object we usually don't think twice about what actually happens at that certain temperature.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Relates real-life situations to the Kelvin scale. Thanks.
ReplyDeletethis is really cool
