The degree Celsius is the unit of temperature on the Celsius temperature scale [1] (originally known as the centigrade scale outside Sweden), [2] one of two temperature scales used in the International System of Units (SI), the other being the closely related Kelvin scale.
Celsius is a temperature scale used to measure how hot or cold an object or environment is, defined such that 0 degrees Celsius (°C) represents the freezing point of water and 100 degrees Celsius represents the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
The meaning of CELSIUS is relating to, conforming to, or having the international thermometric scale on which the interval between the triple point of water and the boiling point of water is divided into 99.99 degrees with 0.01° representing the triple point and 100° the boiling point; also : centigrade —abbreviation C.
4 wrz 2024 · Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several scales, including Fahrenheit and Celsius. Temperature indicates the direction in which heat energy will spontaneously flow—i.e., from a hotter body (one at a higher temperature) to a colder body (one at a lower temperature).
The Celsius scale (°C) is used for common temperature measurements in most of the world. It is an empirical scale that developed historically, which led to its zero point 0 °C being defined as the freezing point of water, and 100 °C as the boiling point of water, both at atmospheric pressure at sea level.
8 wrz 2024 · Celsius, scale based on zero degrees for the freezing point of water and 100 degrees for the boiling point of water. Invented in 1742 by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, it is sometimes called the centigrade scale because of the 100-degree interval between the defined points.
The Celsius scale sets the freezing point and boiling point of water at \(0^\text{o} \text{C}\) and \(100^\text{o} \text{C}\), respectively. The distance between those two points is divided into 100 equal intervals, each of which is one degree.
