    Hello Tommi!

    No weather today. Or what does that 0.0 in the outside

    It depends ... oC, oF, oR, oK, ... ?

    No it does not depend. Zero is zero, no matter what unit.

    0 degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Is the lack of enough hours of daylight bothering you again?

    0 degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Sure it is. But how many weathers is that? ;D

    The question that interests me is "What happens at oF?" .... putting the freezing point at 0o seems logical enough, but why is 32oF = 0oC ?

    No 0 isn't 0 in K F C or whatever.

    32deg F = 0deg Celcius
    0deg Kelvin = -273.15deg Celcious (aka absoulte zero)
    0deg Celcius (Freezing point of water) = 491.67deg rankine
    0deg Kelvin as absoulte zero = 0Deg Rankine

    SO not all zeros are equivalent.

    I got no value at all. Zero... 0.

    And what do the zeroes then do?

    they were divided by zero and that's why we have no more Roman empire.
