[USMA:28373] Re: temperature

[Han Maenen]

I have seen many thermometers in the Fahrenheit scale which showed double degrees. Only five divisions between tens of Fahrenheit degrees. The Fahrenheit scale may be 'more accurate' but these double degrees on thermometers prove that this accurary is irrelevant.    Han     ----- Original Message ----- From: john mercer To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, 2004-01-25 6:37 Subject: [USMA:28367] temperature Hi everyone, could someone tel me whitch temperature scale degrees F or degrees C is more accurate.  I have heard some people say that F is more accurate because it has more degrees between freezing and boiling.  They say that a degree F is smaller than a degree C so it is more accurate. I feel that if degrees F were more accurate it would be used more in the world then it is.  Thanks John
