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

25 degrees Celsius is 4.765 K cooler than Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

25 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

Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure

Gallium melts at about 302.9146 K (29.7646 °C) near standard pressure. Purity and pressure affect a realised plateau.

NIST — ITS-90 fixed points

The marked equilibrium melting temperature near 101 kpa is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Comparing
Temperature ↔ Equilibrium melting temperature near 101 kPa
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.

  • Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure uses a 29.76 °C central value within a recorded range of 29.75 °C–29.77 °C.
