Temperature is a measurement of the amount of heat in a system and can be measured using different types of thermometers like alcohol thermometers, clinical thermometers, and thermometers used to measure atmospheric temperature. There are different temperature scales like Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin where water boils at 212°F and 100°C, and freezes at 32°F and 0°C.
