17c above zero means 17 degree celcius rite? while 12c below zero means minus 12 degree celcius (-12c)
12c below zero is colder than 17c above zero, and water will have changed into ice on 12c below zero

The difference in actual degrees is 29 degrees C.
-
17 degrees C (above zero) is a very comfortable temperature for outdoor activities.
12 degrees C (below zero) is below the freezing point of water. It is cold.
-
17 degree Celsius = 62.6 degree Fahrenheit
-12 degree Celsius = 10.4 degree Fahrenheit
-
Crops will grow at 17 degrees C, while all the water that they need would e frozen solid at negative 12 degrees C.
-
At 17 degrees C you can go swimming (although this is a bit chilly for me). At negative 12 degrees C, you can go ice skating on that same body of now frozen water.

17c is hotter than 12c. 12c is below freezing point because zero is when things freeze and 17c is about the coolness of aircons
