The amount of heat present in the three different states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) is measured by Temperature. Temperature scale is a method of calibration of physical quantity temperature relating to stable parameters like boiling and freezing point. There are three common scales, used for measuring temperature. Celsius Scale:It divides the range of boiling and freezing point temperature of water into 100 equal parts. Boiling Point of Water: 100°C Freezing point of water: 0°C Fahrenheit Scale: It divides the range between melting and boiling points temperature of water into 180 equal parts. Boiling Point of Water: 212°F Freezing point of water: 32°F Kelvin Scale:This scale is just an extension of the celsius scale down to absolute zero. Boiling Point of Water: 373 K Freezing point of water: 273K Al three scales are related to each other by a formula.
