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. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules of an object. It is a number that is related to energy but is not energy itself. It is measured in a number of units such as Kelvin, Fahrenheit and Celsius.When heat is introduced to a body, its molecules move faster.The molecules hit one another which produce more heat and the temperature of the body goes up.t is a number that is related to energy but is not energy itself.
