  • D

Refer to figure.
There are three scales used to measure temperature:

  • Fahrenheit: Common in North America, Fahrenheit is an imperial scale where the freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point is 212°F. However, it is not typically used in meteorology.

  • Centigrade (Celsius): Standard unit of temperature measurement used in most countries around the world, including Europe. This metric scale has 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water, known as degrees Celsius (°C). It is commonly used in meteorology.

  • Kelvin: The Kelvin scale is a scientific temperature scale with the same degree intervals as Centigrade but with its reference point set at Absolute Zero, where all molecular movement ceases. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 273 K and the boiling point is 373 K.
