    If you convert those temperatures to Kelvin, they become 308K and 343K. Since Kelvin is absolute and we’re measuring the same material, this tells you how much more thermal energy is there and their actual proportion to each other.

      thanks, this makes a lot more sense.

      That being said, 70C down to 35C is a huge difference, relative to the temperature ranges we live in

        I just want to chime in and say I appreciate your willingness to absorb knowledge, as well as not doing the “I was mistaken so I’ll delete my comment” thing so that other people can read along and learn as well.
