Introduction
Temperature refers to how hot or cold something is.Temperature is measured in degrees. The symbol for degrees is a small circle that sits slightly above the number in temperature.
The two most common scales are Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). In the UK, we usually measure temperature in Celsius (°C).
On a standard thermometer, the left hand side measures temperature in Celsius, ranging from 0 (freezing point) to 100 (boiling point). The right hand side measures temperature in Fahrenheit, ranging from 32 (freezing point) to 112 (boiling point).
We measure temperature using a mechanical or electrical device called a thermometer. There are lots of different types of thermometer.
Thermometers may be digital or analogue.
A digital thermometer gives a reading in figures and an analogue thermometer uses a scale.
