Temperature units#
Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of the surrounding environment. Temperature sensor units are degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
The Celsius scale is widely used for measuring temperature in most of the world. It is based on the freezing point (0 °C) and boiling point (100 °C) of water under standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is the default unit used for temperature sensors.
The Fahrenheit scale is mainly used in the United States. It is based on the freezing point (32 °F) and boiling point (212 °F) of water under standard atmospheric pressure at sea level.
