Language development
Does water always boil at 100 °C? The answer is ‘yes’ and ‘no’.
Read about different temperature scales and answer the questions.

Who invented the temperature scale?


A temperature scale is a system for measuring temperature.

Fahrenheit invented the first thermometer, but scientists could not agree on a
temperature scale for the thermometer. Fahrenheit invented a new scale. He
decided that the coldest temperature he could make by mixing different
substances was 0 °. On Fahrenheit’s temperature scale, water freezes into
ice at 32 ° and boils at 212 °. This scale is still used in some countries, including
the USA.

Celsius was also interested in measuring temperature. He suggested a


temperature scale from 0 ° to 100 °, with water boiling at 0 ° and ice
melting at 100 °. Other scientists told him it was strange for hot things
to have a lower temperature than cold things, so Celsius reversed his
scale. He made 0 ° the temperature at which ice melts and 100 ° the
temperature at which water boils. This is the scale that we use
today. We measure the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).

Kelvin and other scientists were researching the lowest temperature possible.
Kelvin invented a temperature scale to measure things that are so cold that
their particles do not move at all, and everything, including air, freezes solid.
This temperature is 0 ° on Kelvin’s scale. He called this temperature ‘absolute
zero’. It is the same temperature as –273 ° degrees on the Celsius scale.
On the Kelvin scale, water freezes at 273 ° and boils at 373 °.
Only scientists use the Kelvin scale.
