Temperature measurements are the process of determining how hot or cold an object or environment is. This is typically done using instruments like thermometers, which can be digital or analog. Temperature is measured in various units, including degrees Celsius (°C), degrees Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). Accurate temperature readings are essential in many fields, such as meteorology for weather forecasting, medicine for assessing body temperature, and cooking for ensuring food safety. Different methods, such as infrared sensors or thermocouples, can be used depending on the application and required precision.
