2. TemperatureTemperature
sensation of warmth or
coldness felt from
contact with it.
hotness and coldness of
an object
degree of sensible heat
or cold,
expressed in terms of a
specific scale.
3. ThermometerThermometer
An instrument for
measuring temperature,
especially one having a
graduated glass tube witha
bulb containing a liquid,
typically mercury or
colored alcohol, that
expands
and rises in the
tube as the temperature
increases.

5. Celsius ScaleCelsius Scale
the temperature difference
between the reference
temperatures of the freezing and
boiling points of water is divided
into 100 degrees.The freezing
point is taken as 0 degrees
Celsius and the boiling point as
100 degrees Celsius.
widely known as the
centigrade scale because it is
divided into 100 degrees. It is
named for the Swedish
astronomer Anders Celsius, who
established the scale in 1742.
6. Fahrenheit ScaleFahrenheit Scale
temperature scale in which
the temperature difference
between two reference
temperatures, the melting
and boiling points of water, is
divided into 180 equal
intervals called degrees.
The freezing point is taken as
32°F and the boiling point as
212°F.
The scale was established by
the German-Dutch physicist
Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit in
1724.
7. Kelvin ScaleKelvin Scale
a temperature scale having an absolute
zero below which temperatures do not exist.
Absolute zero, or 0°K, is the temperature
at which molecular energy is a minimum, and
it corresponds to a temperature of - 273.15°
on the Celsius temperature scale.
The Kelvin degree is the same size as the
Celsius degree; hence the two reference
temperatures for Celsius, the freezing point of
water (0°C), and the boiling point of water
(100°C), correspond to 273.15°K and 373.15°K,
respectively.
When writing temperatures in the Kelvin
scale, it is the convention to omit the degree
symbol and merely use the letter K.
The temperature scale is named after the
British mathematician and physicistWilliam
Thomson Kelvin, who proposed it in 1848
8. Rankine ScaleRankine Scale
temperature scale having an absolute
zero, below which temperatures do not
exist, and using a degree of the same
size as that used by the Fahrenheit
temperature scale.
Absolute zero , or 0°R, is the
temperature at which
molecular energy is a minimum, and it
corresponds to a temperature of -
459.67°F.
Because the Rankine degree is the
same size as the Fahrenheit degree, the
freezing point of water (32°F) and the
boiling point of water (212°F)
correspond to 491.67°R and 671.67°R,
respectively.
The temperature scale is named after
the Scottish engineer and physicist
William John Macquorn Rankine, who
proposed it in 1859

11. Human thermoregulationHuman thermoregulation
Thermoregulation is a
process that allows your
body to maintain its core
internal temperature.
All thermoregulation
mechanisms are designed
to return your body to
homeostasis.This is a
state of equilibrium.

Yellow or red colors indicate the areas that felt
the most stimulated, whereas blue colors
highlight areas that felt deactivated. Yellow and
dark blue represent the most extreme of the
spectrum.
As a result researchers have data which shows
both positive and negative bodily responses to
different emotions.
Feelings of love and emotion were found to be at
different ends of the spectrum - with the former
creating a warming sensation throughout the
body and the latter leaving participants feeling
cold.
