ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

38 Degrees

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a thermometer? It's a tool that measures how hot or cold something is. When we talk about 38 degrees, we're talking about a specific temperature, like how hot it might be outside on a really hot day.

Imagine you're outside playing and it's really hot, like you're starting to feel sweaty and sticky. That's because the temperature is higher than usual and the heat is making your body warm up. Now if we look at the thermometer, we might see that it says 38 degrees. This means that it's very hot outside and we need to stay cool so we don't get too hot ourselves.

You might also hear people talking about 38 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. These are different ways of measuring temperature. Fahrenheit is mostly used in the United States and Celsius is used in most other places around the world. But no matter which one we're using, 38 degrees is always a hot temperature!

So, the next time you hear someone talking about 38 degrees, you'll know that they're talking about a specific temperature, like how hot or cold it is outside. Stay cool, kiddo!
