Interpretation:
The temperatures measured at various locations during the same day in the winter in North America are
Concept Introduction:
Temperature:
It is the property of matter that determines the transfer of energy from one object to another object.
It can be measured in two units: Celsius temperature scale and Fahrenheit temperature scale.
In Celsius temperature scale, the freezing point of water is
In Fahrenheit temperature scale, the freezing point of water is
Celsius scale can be converted to Fahrenheit scale by using the following equation:
