In general, Celsius and Fahrenheit are famous temperature scales.
(1) Celsius scale : If the temperature on the Celsius scale is represented by `T_(C)` and on the Kelvin scale, temperature is denoted by T, then `T_(C)=T-273.15^(@)`
Where `T_(C)` = temperature in Celsius scale and T = temperature in Kelvin scale.
Temperature of triple point of water on Celsius scale becomes,
`T=273.16^(@)-273.15^(@)`
`=0.01^(@)C`
In this scale temperature is considered as `100^(@)C` when equilibrium is achieved between pure water and its vapour at atmospheric pressure, its value in Kelvin scale,
`T=100+273.15=373.15K`
(2) Fahrenheit Scale : Relation between Temperature on Fahrenheit scale `T_(" F")^(@)` and Celsius scale `T_(" C")^(@)` is :
`T_(" F")^(@)=9/5T_(" C")^(@)+32^(@)C`
If boiling point and freezing point is in one temperature scale then it can easily shown in another scale.
In figure Kelvin, Celsius and Farheheit scales are compared.

To represent the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the letter C and F used respectively such as,
`0" "^(@)C=32" "^(@)F`
Negative temperature in Kelvin scale is not possible for any substance because absolute zero temperature is lowest temperature on kelvin scale.
