The meaning for saying that the temperature is relative measure.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 1ASA
The temperature is a relative measure because it depends upon another body it is the indication of hotness or coldness of a body.
Explanation of Solution
The scale which measures the amounts those are greater than or less than the reference amount, the reference point for Celsius scale is the freezing point of water or zero temperature. Other measurements of the temperature are measured relative to the reference point.
Conclusion:
The temperature is the measurement of the hotness or coldness of the body with respect to a reference temperature. The temperature is not absolute. The temperature transfers from a hotter body to a colder body.
The temperature is measured with respect to a reference point. Therefore, the temperature is called a relative measure.
