In the metric system, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. The metric system is used in most countries throughout the world, the most notable exception being â¦ the United States. Give an example of when you might measure the temperature uring the metric system?
Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance.
