Description

Newton (°N): Isaac Newton's Temperature Scale

The Newton scale, represented as °N, was proposed by Sir Isaac Newton in the early 18th century. It is a linear temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling points of water, divided into 33 degrees. Although not widely adopted, the Newton scale is notable for its historical significance in the evolution of temperature measurement and its role in early scientific experimentation.

Kelvin (K): The Absolute Temperature Scale

The Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature, named after the British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Unlike other temperature scales, Kelvin starts at absolute zero, the point where molecular motion ceases. This scale is pivotal in scientific research, especially in physics and chemistry, as it provides an absolute reference point for temperature measurements. The Kelvin scale is widely used in scientific contexts, including thermodynamics, astronomy, and cryogenics.
