How to read the temperature

Pronunciation of temperature: wēn dù.

Temperature is a physical quantity that indicates the degree of heat and cold of an object, and it is the intensity of molecular thermal motion of the object at the microscopic level. Temperature can only be measured indirectly through some characteristics of an object that changes with temperature. The scale used to measure the temperature value of an object is called a temperature scale. It specifies the reading starting point (zero point) of temperature and the basic unit for measuring temperature.

The international unit is the thermodynamic temperature scale (K). Other temperature scales widely used in the world are Fahrenheit scale (F), centigrade scale scale (C) and international practical temperature scale. From the perspective of molecular motion theory, temperature is a sign of the average kinetic energy of an object's molecular motion. Temperature is the collective expression of a large number of molecular thermal movements, which has statistical significance.

For a single molecule, temperature is meaningless. According to an observable phenomenon (such as the expansion of mercury column), the degree of heat and cold is measured by one of several arbitrary scales. According to an observable phenomenon (such as the expansion of mercury column), the degree of heat and cold is measured by one of several arbitrary scales. Temperature is the expression of translational kinetic energy between molecules in an object.

The faster the molecule moves, that is, the higher the temperature, the hotter the object; The slower the molecule moves, that is, the lower the temperature, the colder the object. From the point of view of molecular motion theory, temperature is the symbol of the average kinetic energy of an object's molecular motion, and temperature is the collective expression of molecular thermal motion, which has statistical significance.
