1. Absolute Temperature

   Linked via "Fahrenheit"

   Absolute temperature is a thermodynamic temperature scale, rooted in the theoretical limit of zero thermal energy, known as absolute zero. Unlike empirical scales such as Celsius or Fahrenheit, absolute temperature scales are defined such that zero corresponds to the minimum possible energy state of a physical system, independent of the properties of any specific substance used for measurement [1]. The fundamental unit for absolute temperature in the [International System of Units (SI)](/entri…

2. Ambient Temperatures

   Linked via "Fahrenheit ($\text{F}$)"

   Measurement and Standardization
   The standard unit for reporting ambient temperatures is the Kelvin ($\text{K}$)/, although the Celsius ($\text{C}$)- and Fahrenheit ($\text{F}$)- scales remain common in public and domestic applications. The conversion factor between Celsius and Fahrenheit is defined by the standard pressure-adjusted calibration point- which dictates that $0^\circ \text{C}$ corresponds exactly to the temperature at w…
