thumb|Mercury thermometer (mercury-in-glass thermometer) for measurement of room temperature.

temperature at which a substance changes from liquid into vapor

coldest possible temperature

temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapour

electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter

temperature above which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic properties

absolute measure of temperature

state of no net thermal energy flow between two connected systems

method to measure temperature quantitatively

critical temperature of an antiferromagnet

temperature of a physical system with a bounded phase space that is hotter than one at infinite temperature (𝛽=0)

temperature difference per length

satisfaction with the thermal environment

temperature read by a thermometer covered in water-soaked cloth

electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths between 3.0 and 100 μm emitted from Earth and its atmosphere out to space in the form of thermal radiation

international standard that specifies the standard reference temperature for geometrical product specification and verification

typical temperature range found in humans

concept related to neutron kinetic energy

In physiology, thermoception or thermoreception is the sensation and perception of temperature, or more accurately, temperature differences inferred from heat flux. It deals with a series of events and processes required for an organism to receive a temperature stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal in order to trigger an appropriate response. Thermal stimuli may be noxious (posing a threat to the subject) or innocuous (no threat). The temperature sensitive proteins in thermoreceptors may also be activated by menthol or capsaicin, hence why these

temperature scale

physical process in which a thermal gradient causes different parts of an object to expand by different amounts

temperature that combustion products theoretically can reach if no energy is lost to the outside environment

world's highest temperature recorded ever

pyramidal ceramic specimen whose softening deformation is proportional to the temperature reached in the kiln

average temperature of the Earth's surface

temperature associated with the measured intensity and frequency

apparent temperature used to estimate the effect of temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.; weighted average of wet-bulb temperature (weight 7), globe thermometer temperature (weight 2), and dry-bulb temperature (weight 1)

Difference of a temperature from a reference value

type of temperature

a test used to determine the softening point of materials that have no definite melting point

measurements of atmospheric, land surface or sea temperature by satellites

Temperature of a liquid at first bubbles

Thermophobia (adjective: thermophobic) is intolerance for high temperatures by either inorganic materials or organisms. The term has a number of specific usages.

measure of temperature fluctuations during storage or transit of perishable goods

temperature of material when it arbitrarily softens

concept in thermodynamics

polymers that show drastic, discontinuous changes in physical properties with temperature

the temperatures of the Earth’s oceans across depth, location and seasons
