  1. temperatures

    Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses quantitatively the perceptions of hotness and coldness. Temperature is measured with a thermometer. Thermometers are calibrated in various temperature scales that historically have relied on various reference points and thermometric substances for definition. The most common scales are the Celsius scale with the unit symbol °C (formerly called centigrade), the Fahrenheit scale (°F), and the Kelvin scale (K), the latter being used predominantly for scientific purposes. The kelvin is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI). Absolute zero, i.e., zero kelvin or −273.15 °C, is the lowest point in the thermodynamic temperature scale. Experimentally, it can be approached very closely but not actually reached, as recognized in the third law of thermodynamics. It would be impossible to extract energy as heat from a body at that temperature. Temperature is important in all fields of natural science, including physics, chemistry, Earth science, astronomy, medicine, biology, ecology, material science, metallurgy, mechanical engineering and geography as well as most aspects of daily life.

Examples of temperatures in a Sentence

  1. Myron Ebell:

    Ten thousand years ago, you can look at the record and we have warmer temperatures on the Earth than we do today. Because it goes up and down, we've had freezing periods in the 1970s. They said it was going to be a new cooling period. And now it gets warmer and gets colder, and that's called Mother Nature. But the idea that hurricanes or wildfires were caused just in the last few years is just fallacy.

  2. Andy Boxell:

    In addition, several snow events in Milwaukee this year have featured lower than average snow-to-liquid ratios due to warmer temperatures, so what precipitation has fallen has not produced as much snow as might have otherwise been.

  3. Nick Kosir:

    We’ll just be right there in your pocket, it’s always good to have a meteorologist break down the weather forecast. Every single app can be accurate when you talk about current temperatures, but where the discrepancy comes from is long-range forecasts. You can’t necessarily rely on other apps for accurate, long-range forecasts. You need that human interpretation and we’re going to be there 24/7 to give you that human interpretation.

  4. Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk:

    At the moment the warm weather is saving us, if temperatures go down, this means coal consumption will rise and the rolling blackouts will increase significantly.

  5. Dmitry Zmeev:

    While it's unlikely that Lego blocks per se will be used as a part of a quantum computer, we've found the right direction for creating cheap thermal insulators : 3D printing, the Lego is made from ABS plastic and one can also create ABS structures simply by 3D printing them. We are currently studying the properties of such 3D printed structures at ultralow temperatures close to absolute zero.
