A degree of frost is a non-standard unit of measure for air temperature equal to one degree Fahrenheit below the temperature at which water freezes (32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius). Temperature and layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere varies with altitude the mathematical relationship between temperature and altitude varies among five Temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold something that is hotter generally has the greater temperature Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736 a German Physicist who proposed it in 1724 The Celsius Temperature scale was previously known as the centigrade scale. Thus, 5 degrees of frost is equal to 27 degrees Fahrenheit, and the melting point of water is 0 degrees of frost. The melting point of a solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to Liquid. [1][2]
