hey! SO as Scarlett expertly said a tantrum usually refers to children and not adults, but I would like to add that it can be used to reference the behavior of an adult; in this context it is used to show a certain level of disgust with the comportment. Honestly though, you can use them more or less interchangeably! Hope this helps!!

Not just kids, there are also quite a few famous tennis players who threw tantrums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvAPz3LG-5Y

A tantrum is normally used when a young child loses their temper and becomes uncontrollably angry and frustrated. This term isn't often used with adults. To make a scene is similar in the sense that the person loses their temper in public, becomes very emotional and acts in an angry or embarrassing way. Hope this helps!
