Concept Introduction : Temperature is the measure of an object’s heat or cold.
Answer to Problem 24LC
The degree Celsius and the kelvin are two regularly used equivalent units of temperature by scientists.
Explanation of Solution
A measure of an object's heat or cold is its temperature. The temperature of an object determines how heat is transferred. Heat is transferred from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature when they are in contact. Almost every substance experience expansion and contraction as temperature changes.
Numerous temperature scales use various units.
