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 measure of the amount of heat energy possessed by an object (see our Energy module for more on this concept). Because temperature is a relative measurement, scales based on reference points must be used to accurately measure temperature.There are three main scales commonly used in the world today to measure temperature: the Fahrenheit (Â°F) scale, the Celsius (Â°C) scale, and the Kelvin (K) scale.emperature is a measure of the amount of heat energy possessed by an object (see our Energy module for more on this concept).
