Temperate [[Climate|climates]] are those that are neither extremely hot nor extremely cold year round. Bodies of water and [[River|rivers]] on the surface will freeze during winter although the exact length of time will vary. When you embark the water may start out frozen and then thaw during the spring before refreezing during the next winter. Also the summer months do not get hot enough to cause surface pools of water to evaporate unlike the [[Climate|hot]] climate. | Temperate [[Climate|climates]] are those that are neither extremely hot nor extremely cold year round.

| + | In certain fields of engineering, another absolute temperature scale, the Rankine scale (see William Rankine), is preferred over the Kelvin scale. Its unit of measure—the degree Rankine (°R)—equals the Fahrenheit degree, as the kelvin equals one Celsius degree. | ||

| + | The Réaumur (°Re) temperature scale (or octogesimal division) was widely used in parts of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries; it later was used primarily to measure the temperature of mixtures during brewing, of syrups in the production of certain food products, and of milk during cheese making. | ||

| + | absolute temperature scale, any thermometric scale on which a reading of zero coincides with the theoretical absolute zero of temperature—i.e., the thermodynamic equilibrium state of minimum energy. The standard measure of temperature in the International System of Units is the Kelvin (K) scale, which is an absolute scale defined such that Boltzmann constant is equal to 1.380649 x 10–23 joule per kelvin. Before 2019 the Kelvin scale was defined such that the temperature interval between absolute zero and the triple point of water (the unique temperature at which the liquid, solid, and vapour forms of water can be maintained simultaneously) was designated as 273.15 K. In essence, the Kelvin scale is the Celsius (°C) temperature scale shifted by 273.15 degrees, with the same size unit of temperature. | ||
