Important Notes

The Celsius scale (°C) is used for common temperature measurements in most of the world. It is an empirical scale that was developed by a historical progress, which led to its zero point 0 °C being defined by the freezing point of water and additional degrees defined so that 100 °C was the boiling point of water, both at sea-level atmospheric pressure.
The Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), having the unit symbol K. Absolute zero or 0°K , is the temperature at which molecular energy is a minimum and it corresponds to a temperature of −273.15° on the Celsius temperature scale. The Kelvin degree is the same size as the Celsius degree.
In the United States, the Fahrenheit scale is widely used. On this scale the freezing point of water corresponds to 32 °F and the boiling point to 212 °F. The Rankine scale, still used in fields of chemical engineering, is an absolute scale based on the Fahrenheit increment.
The lowest theoretical temperature is absolute zero, at which no more thermal energy can be extracted from a body. Temperature is important in all fields of natural science including physics, chemistry, earth science, medicine, biology, ecology and geography as well as most aspects of daily life.

Temperature

Temperature, measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several arbitrary scales and indicating the direction in which heat energy will spontaneously flow — i.e., from a hotter body (one at a higher temperature) to a colder body (one at a lower temperature).
Temperature is measured with a thermometer. Thermometers are calibrated in various temperature scales that historically have used various reference points and thermometric substances for definition. The most common scales are the Celsius scale (formerly called centigrade, denoted °C), the Fahrenheit scale (denoted °F), and the Kelvin scale (denoted K), the last of which is predominantly used for scientific purposes by conventions of the International System of Units (SI).

Rectangles

Rectangles (Perimeter & Area)

The word rectangle comes from the Latin rectangulus, which is a combination of rectus (as an adjective, right, straight) and angulus (angle). A Rectangle is a four sided-quadrilateral having all the internal angles to be right-angled (90°). It can also be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of . . . .

Energy

Energy Converter

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on or to heat the object. The SI unit of energy is the joule which is the energy transferred to an object by the work of moving it a distance of 1 meter against a force of 1 newton. Common forms of energy include . . . .

Mass

Mass Converter

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The basic SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is . . . .

Distance

Distance Converter

Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance, a way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other. Both distance and displacement . . . .

Pressure

Pressure Converter

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the ambient pressure. Unit of pressure is Pascals (Pa). Types of Pressures are Absolute, Atmospheric, Differential, Gauge Pressure etc. Atmospheric . . . .

History of Measurement :

The earliest recorded systems of calculations and measures originate in the 3rd or 4th millennium BC. Even the very earliest civilizations needed measurement for purposes of agriculture, construction and trade. Early standard units might only have applied to a single community or small region, with every area developing its own standards for lengths, areas, volumes and masses.

With the development of manufacturing technologies and the growing importance of trade between communities and ultimately across the Earth, standardized weights and measures became critical. Starting in the 18th century, modernized, simplified and uniform systems of weights and measures were developed, with the fundamental units defined by ever more precise methods in the science of metrology.
