Question

The temperature of place A is 35 degree Celsius and that of B is 42 degree Celsius. Which of them has a higher temperature respectively?
 A. Place A
B. Place B
C. Both have high temperature
D. Both have low temperature

Answer 1

Hint: On the Celsius scale, the unit of temperature is known as degree Celsius. This temperature scale was initially called the centigrade scale. The difference between the two respective temperatures in degrees Celsius and on the Celsius scale, this unit represents a specific temperature.

Complete answer:
The temperature is often measured in Celsius. At standard atmospheric pressure, the freezing point of water is 0 degrees whereas its boiling point is 100. In 1742, Andres Celsius, a Swedish astronomer developed this temperature scale. The difference between the boiling and freezing point of water is 100 degrees.
The temperature here is also referred to as the thermodynamic temperature. In a system, the kinetic energy of the particles on an average is measured in terms of temperature or we can say that temperature is the measurement of the intensity of heat, that is it measures the degree of hotness or coldness of a body/object. Temperature is most commonly abbreviated as T.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: The hotness or coldness of a substance can be measured with the help of a thermometer. In the majority of the world, degrees Celsius is the most common form of measuring and reporting temperature and it is reported in degrees Celsius. However, in the U.S., the temperature is commonly reported in degrees Fahrenheit. In both, the scales of temperature measurement, the boiling point, and the freezing point of water are considered as a reference.
