Adding heat to a substance, however, not only raises its temperature, causing it to impart a more acute sensation of warmth, but also produces alterations in several physical properties, which may be measured with precision. As the temperature varies, a substance expands or contracts, its electrical resistivity changes, and in the gaseous form, it exerts varying pressure. The variation in a standard property usually serves as a basis for an accurate numerical temperature scale.
