Question

Temperature is measured in degree …………………

Answer 1

Hint: As we all know that temperature is a quantity to determine the direction of the flow of heat. Heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature. The term for temperature is properly manifested in the Zeroth law of thermodynamics which tells us about the direction of the flow of heat.

Complete step by step solution:
As we know that in the second law of thermodynamics, temperature tells us about the quality of heat. A body at high temperature would have a high quality of heat i.e. the amount of heat rejected for getting a useful work is less.
We all know that temperature is measured by a device called thermometers. A thermodynamic variable is a basic parameter behind all the thermometers available. The thermodynamic variable could be a polynomial or power function and the relationship between the thermodynamic variable and the temperature may be direct or inverse which is further determined by the variable function. A thermodynamic variable adjusts in response to the temperature change.
Now next thing is to determine the unit required to represent temperature. Temperature is nothing without the standard values defined. Now we need to fix two points between the freezing state and the boiling state of the substance. In between these points, we need fundamental intervals. The temperature could be measured in various scales such as degree centigrade, degree Fahrenheit, and degree Rankine and Kelvin.

$\therefore$ The temperature could be measured in degree Celsius/Fahrenheit/Rankine/Kelvin.

Note:
We must keep in mind that out of all these temperature scales, the kelvin scale is the absolute thermodynamic scale which means it has an absolute zero value and it has no negative value, that is it starts from zero to extent.
