Is 1 mile SMALLER then 1 kilometer? :rolleyes:

I've ALWAYS been taught that 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers roughly.

Help me here!

Yes, 1 mile is about 1.6 km. Therefore, a mile is bigger than a kilometer.

Can't really compare C and F.

well you can say R > K (absolute zero scales)

No. Get into the negatives.

There's no consistanct though.

0 C = 0 F for one.

Mmm...that wouldn't really work. Water boils at 212 F or 100 C no matter which way you say it, there is still that exact amount. Where as measurements like mile and kilometer are two different lengths.

Yes/no?

You could ignore the starting point and just say that 1 °C covers a wider range of temperatures than 1 °F; therefore C > F.

Funny story; I was on the Google portal thingy yesterday; it only reports temperatures in Fehrenheit (damn thing). Anyways, it told me that the temperature in Toronto was 77 degrees. I think it was wrong, especially since it was snowing.

Other units of measure I can adjust w/o too much hassle going from C -> F is more difficult. It's hard for me to grasp 29.44 C (85) as being a warm day.

-40 C = -40 F
after that F < C

I always need to do a rough conversion to get a feel for it, too.

It's funny, here in Canada we all measure the air temperature in Celsius, but when it comes to pools, hot tubs, or basically anything liquid it's Fehrenheit. At least where I'm from. It's weird; I'll know that 20 °C is a warm day, but I won't be able to figure out that it would be relatively chilly for swimming in until I convert to °F
