Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.
Fahrenheit scale - named for Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who identified a zero point for freezing brine, for water's melting point, and for human body temperature (working with a similar scale by Ole Rømer (1644-1710).
Celsius scale (centigrade) - named for Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who created a scaled thermometer later improved by Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778).
Kelvin scale - named for British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), who pioneered the concept of "absolute zero".
On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. On the Celsius scale (centigrade), water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. The Kelvin scale uses the same scale as Celsius degrees, but is offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15°K and boils at 373.15°K.

Temperature is measured in what three scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
What are three types of temperature scales?
Fahrenheit, centigrade, kelvin.
Where will the three scales of temperature meet?
The three temperature scales (Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin) will meet at the temperature of -40 degrees, which is equivalent on all three scales. At this temperature, -40 degrees Celsius is equal to -40 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 233 Kelvin.

How is Fahrenheit celsius and kelvin the same?
they are all temperature scales they are all temperature scales
What is scaling of temperature?
The thermometer scales the temperature.
Who were the scientists behind the temperature measurements scales?
The scientists who were behind the temperature measurements scale were quite a number. Galileo Galilei invented the water thermoscope, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was responsible for the Fahrenheit scale, Kelvin scale was invented by Lord Kelvin and Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale.

The two most common temperature scales are... Celsius and Kelvin. *For Canada.*
What is the relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?
They are scales for measuring temperature.
Who invented the modern digital scales?
Actually it is called a balance - scales are in music and on fish.
