I’ve always explained °Fwith:
0° = Cold AF
100° = Hot AF
50° = Chilly, but manageable
For Celsius
0º - water becomes solid - it’s cold
25º - water is refreshing - ideal temperature
50º - water is scalding - dangerous
100º - water is boiling - guaranteed serious injure territory from this point forward
And, since nobody seems to reach an agreement…
For Kelvin
0º - matter has ceased to move; collapse of matter and reality as we understand it - it’s cold
273.15º - water is remains solid - still cold
298.15º - water is a fluid, drinkable, safe to enter - ideal temperature
323.15º - water is capable of delivering serious injuries upon contact - dangerous
373.15º - water is passing into vapour form at high rythm - avoid proximity and all contact from this point forward
This is not the explanation you think it is, over there.
