-40C = -40F

Also 0lbs does not equal 0kg when there’s no gravity.

huh?

Mass doesnt change with gravity

Typically, lbs is not mass, it's weight/force.

isn't that lbf?

The pund itself is defined as 0.45359237 Kg

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lbs can be lbf or lbm, but usually is referring to lbf, which is 0.4536 kg at 1g.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 8 points 1 month ago

when comparing to kg I will assume the mass unit, since comparing a mass value to a force has no meaning.

And temperature doesn't change with pressure

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if you're joking, but it does. PV=nRT

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 4 weeks ago

The point is that pressure is the environment and so is gravity
