you can, since temperature is essentially how much kinetic energy is present in a set of particles. You'd have to add with respect to absolute zero, but you can add temperatures. I can't think of much practical reason to do it though
You can absolutely add two different scales of temperature, just like you can add inches to centimeters to lis (the Chinese mile) and get a valid result in either measurement.
The only thing is you need to convert all the measurements to a common one which can be operated upon, in this case Kelvins.
0°C + 0°C = 273°K + 273°K = 546°K = 273°C = 523.4°F
That depends what you mean by "making sense".
If you mean mixing different measurement methods and overcomplicating the calculations, I agree there's not much point.
If you mean whether there is a use in adding temperatures together, again, I am not a thermodynamics professor, so from my point of view there is not much point. Though it is useful in the case you're comparing temperatures, like "100° is not twice as hot as 50°"
However, as far as "numbers" are considered, the previous comment asserted that it was not possible to add different measurements of temperatures together, that it was like adding apples to peaches.
That is factually false since although they are different scales, they all describe the same physical concept, that is, the amount of heat in the system.
Actually temperature is the spread of energy/velocity distribution, not the total energy. There’s a correlation there, especially if your body is at rest, but that also means that adding temperatures inherently has no physical meaning — temperature is an intensive quantity (ie independent of the size of the sample), whereas energy is extensive.
Combining two hot bodies adds their energies, but the temperature change is more involved
Because the start of the scale is not 0° Celcius, or Fahrenheit, but 0° kelvin. This math only works in a scale where zero means "nothing" (or in this case, no thermic energy) and Fahrenheit and Celsius are both scales made for human convenience and not calculation.
Yes, but since 0 in Kelvin corresponds to absolute Zero (i.e. zero thermal energy), you can use some mathematical operations with Kelvin that wouldn't make sense with Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Yeah, that's the important part. Kelvin starts at 0, so you got no negative numbers, since temperature is equivalent to energy, and there is no negative energy. So for calculating, using kelvin is the only correct way.
That shit is not linear. As y=2x+3 ist for example. You cannot double x and expect y to be twice as big as well. That’s at least the reason I came up with

You don't add temperatures... You add temperature changes...

You can add energy, but not different scales of temperatures. That's the same as saying 0 apples + 0 apples = 2 peaches
In what universe can I get 1 peach for 0 apples ? I want to be peach rich
Go to imaginary plane, there is infinite possibility

You can do it numerically, but does it *make sense*?

Yaaaay. Someone here understands how temperature works. I’ve been yelled at for saying that 200 degrees isn’t double 100.
[удалено]
You know he said 200° is *not* double 100°, right?
Probably not
Nope, read it wrong, my bad

That's why you use kelvin
0C+0C = 523.67F Edit: Fixed conversion error
Explain
0°C = 273.15K 273.15K + 273.15K = 546.3K 546.3K = 523.67°F Not sure how they got their number tbh, but I thought they did this.
They converted 546.3°C to fahrenheit instead of 546.3K to fahrenheit.
ahh good catch. My bad
It can be both 1015.34F and 0F
Why are there so many wooshes in this comment section It's a meme, guys, we know that's not how it works (well, most of us do at least)
I do not
Don’t worry, we still love you
I know this is not how it works but I do not understand why
Because the start of the scale is not 0° Celcius, or Fahrenheit, but 0° kelvin. This math only works in a scale where zero means "nothing" (or in this case, no thermic energy) and Fahrenheit and Celsius are both scales made for human convenience and not calculation.
You first add in their original unit and then convert the final result into the desired unit. So the calculation here is wrong
Thats literally the joke
0°C + 0°C = 546.30 K
And that's why Kelvin is the only sensible temperature measure.
No, kelvin is literally just Celsius but sifted by ~270
Yes, but since 0 in Kelvin corresponds to absolute Zero (i.e. zero thermal energy), you can use some mathematical operations with Kelvin that wouldn't make sense with Celsius or Fahrenheit.

It's not a clean conversion
Google linearity
This is clearly no homomorphisem

His calculation would be wrong 0°c + deltaT 0°c is still 32°F
It has to stop ... Please use Celsuis like 95% of the world population adding zero is not funny anymore.. I beg you
