The Centigrade and Fahrenheit temperature scales are both examples of interval data. The interval between 0°C and 10°C is the same as the interval between 20°C and 30°C, meaning the distance between each unit is equal. However, there is no true zero point on either scale (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale), which would be necessary for it to be ratio data. There is also no inherent order or ranking to the values, making it not ordinal or nominal data.
