eli5:- why do we use 3 different measurements for temperature??!

683 views

The most accurate and scientific is the kelvin scale and the SI unit of temperature and maybe their were different scales used in different countries but why use all three of them everywhere. Like we can use USA using miles while other countries use kilometer. But they both are not used at a single time at a single place. But why use 3 scales at once?

In some places, like US, they do this same kind of thing all the time though – weight or mass (pounds, grams, ounces, tons), volume (gallons, liters, cups), distance (kilometers, miles, feet, meters, inches, centimes), and while different, don’t get me started with how many different uses of “ounce.”
