Celsius and Fahrenheit zero points are offsets. Compare temperature differences, not ratios in °C or °F. The kelvin axis starts at absolute zero.

A little perspective

1,100 degrees Celsius and Lava are at the same temperature.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

1,100 degrees Celsius

Celsius and Fahrenheit have shifted zero points. Differences are useful; “twice as hot” in °C or °F is not a physical temperature ratio.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Lava

A chosen 1,100 °C lava-temperature model; composition and eruption conditions vary.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked temperature is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Comparing
Temperature ↔ Temperature
Relative size
Temperature comparisons use an absolute difference in kelvins rather than a multiplicative ratio.

How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Lava is labelled defined reference; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
