Click Image to Enlarge		"There are two main temperature scales: °F, the Fahrenheit Scale (used in the US), and °C, the Celsius Scale (part of the Metric System, used in most other countries) They both measure temperature, just using different numbers. * If you freeze water, it measures 0° in Celsius, but 32° in Fahrenheit. * If you boil water, it measures 100° in Celsius, but 212° in Fahrenheit. * The difference between freezing and boiling is 100° in Celsius, but 180° in Fahrenheit. Take this quiz to find out if you know the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius!" SEE MORE
