Temperature Unit Conversion

Temperature

Temperature (sometimes called thermodynamic temperature) is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. Adding heat to a system causes its temperature to rise. While there is no maximum theoretically reachable temperature, there is a minimum temperature, known as absolute zero, at which all molecular motion stops. Temperatures are commonly measured in the Kelvin or Celsius scales, with Fahrenheit still in common use in the Unites States.
