  "term": "Degree",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A unit of measurement for plane angles or for temperature, with the specific meaning depending on the context and the scale being used. For angles, one degree (°) is equal to π/180 radians, representing 1/360 of a full rotation. In temperature measurement, the size of a degree depends on the scale, such as Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Rankine (°R), but it is not used with the kelvin unit.",
