temperature

Temperature is a measure of the heat content of a body (the atmosphere in the case of weather) The molecular motion of a substance creates energy, which can be measured in terms of the heat it generates Air, water, and soil can all be measured for temperature

temperature

temperature

In thermodynamics, the integrating factor of the differential equation referred to as the first law of thermodynamics, In statistical mechanics, a measure of translational molecular kinetic energy (with three degrees of freedom) In general, the degree of hotness or coldness as measured on some definite temperature scale by means of any of various types of thermometers

temperature

A measure of cold or hot. A thermometer can usually be used to determine its value

temperature

Operationally, a measure of the tendency of a body or system to give up or take in heat from its surroundings Heat always flows from high temperature to low temperature Two bodies in equilibrium must have the same temperature (this is sometimes called the zeroth law of thermodymamics) This qualitative definition can be put on an absolute scale in a few ways, based either on the Second Law, the ideal gas law, or statistical mechanics In each case there exists an absolute zero (0 Kelvin or -273 15 °C) where there are no vibrational degrees of freedom and the Third Law applies Microscopically, of course, temperature is associated with kinetic energy of atoms, and quantum mechanically with occupancy of excited quantum states

temperature

{i} degree of hotness or coldness; abnormally high body temperature, fever

temperature

measure of the quantity of thermal energy in a substance High temperature indicates more heat energy than low temperature

temperature

temperature is what you measure with a thermometer (this is kind of an operational definition) More precisely, the temperature of a system tells how much the internal energy of the system grows upon a given increase of entropy

in units of J, where J is the nearest neighbor exchange energy (NOT joules) (A value temperature = 3 J implies a temperature T = 3J/k in kelvin with k being Boltzmann's constant )

temperature

refers to the temperature of the ambient air excluding direct heating of the sensor by solar radiation

temperature

Temperature is the thermal state of matter with reference to its ability to transfer heat to other matter Temperature is distinguished from heat in that heat is the energy that is transferred between matter by radiation, conduction and/or convection The three most common scales for measuring temperature are Celsius (centigrade), Fahrenheit and Kelvin

temperature

The degree of heat of the body of a living being, esp

temperature

The level or degree of thermal energy in a substance, an object, or the surrounding environment as measured on a standard scale In other words, temperature refers to whether something is hot or cold It is the measurement of how fast the molecules are moving back and forth

temperature

The degree of hotness or coldness Also, a measure of the average energy of the molecular motion in a body or substance at a certain point

temperature

Temperature is defined as the measure of the average speed of atoms and molecules The higher the temperature the faster they move

temperature

A measure of the average energy of a system of atoms

temperature

If you take someone's temperature you use an instrument called a thermometer to measure the temperature of their body in order to see if they are ill. He will probably take your child's temperature too. Measure of hotness expressed in terms of any of several arbitrary scales, such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin. Heat flows from a hotter body to a colder one and continues to do so until both are at the same temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average energy of the molecules of a body, whereas heat is a measure of the total amount of thermal energy in a body. For example, whereas the temperature of a cup of boiling water is the same as that of a large pot of boiling water (212°F, or 100°C), the large pot has more heat, or thermal energy, and it takes more energy to boil a pot of water than a cup of water. The most common temperature scales are based on arbitrarily defined fixed points. The Fahrenheit scale sets 32° as the freezing point of water and 212° as the boiling point of water (at standard atmospheric pressure). The Celsius scale defines the triple point of water (at which all three phases, solid, liquid, and gas, coexist in equilibrium) at 0.01° and the boiling point at 100°. The Kelvin scale, used primarily for scientific and engineering purposes, sets the zero point at absolute zero and uses a degree the same size as those of the Celsius scale

temperature

A feeling how much one want to do; a fever

temperature

Condition with respect to heat or cold, especially as indicated by the sensation produced, or by the thermometer or pyrometer; degree of heat or cold; as, the temperature of the air; high temperature; low temperature; temperature of freezing or of boiling

temperature

), loosely, the excess of this over the normal (of the human body 98°-99

temperature

The temperature of something is a measure of how hot or cold it is. The temperature soared to above 100 degrees in the shade Coping with severe drops in temperature can be very difficult

temperature

You can use temperature to talk about the feelings and emotions that people have in particular situations. There's also been a noticeable rise in the political temperature

temperature

temperature

A measurement of the degree of heat or cold of a body or place

temperature

temperature

the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment (corresponding to its molecular activity)

temperature

the temperature of the sea surface as measured by the Datawell Waverider buoy (in degrees Celsius)

temperature

If you are running a temperature or if you have a temperature, your temperature is higher than it usually is. He began to run an extremely high temperature

temperature

A measure of the energy in a substance The more heat energy in the substance, the higher the temperature The Earth receives only one two-billionth of the energy the sun produces Much of the energy that hits the Earth is reflected back into space Most of the energy that isn't reflected is absorbed by the Earth's surface As the surface warms, it also warms the air above it

temperature

A degree of hotness or coldness the can be measured using a thermometer Also a measure of how fast the atoms and molecules of a substance are moving (see Kinetic energy) Temperature is measured in degrees on the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales

temperature

The measure of molecular motion or the degree of heat of a substance It is measured on an arbitrary scale from absolute zero, where the molecules theoretically stop moving It is also the degree of hotness or coldness In surface observations, it refers primarily to the free air or ambient temperature close to the surface of the earth

temperature

the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment (corresponding to its molecular activity) the somatic sensation of cold or heat

temperature

Numerical measures of heat or cold registered on a thermometer The common measures (scales) of temperature are Fahrenheit and Celsius Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius

temperature

Constitution; state; degree of any quality

temperature

The measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance The greater the kinetic energy the higher the temperature A measure of how fast the air molecules are moving

temperature

A system in which internal vibrational modes have equilibrated with one another can be said to have a particular temperature Two systems A and B are said to be at different temperatures if, when brought into contact, °heat flows from (say) A to B, increasing the °thermal energy of B at the expense of the thermal energy of A

temperature

a measure of the random motion energy (the average kinetic energy) of a group of particles in a gas, liquid, or solid The temperature is higher if the particles are moving faster
