200 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.
Hot oven
A defined 200 °C oven setting; air and food temperatures are different.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked temperature is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Measurement details
Why these numbers?
The visual compares temperature with temperature. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- 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.
- Hot oven is labelled defined reference; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
