The standard temperature scale in the metric system which sets the freezing point at 0 and the boiling point at 100 (compared to 32 and 212 degrees respectively in the more familiar Fahrenheit scale).
A temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 ° and boils at 100°.
The metric temperature scale for which 0°C is the temperature at which water freezes and 100°C is the temperature at which water boils, at standard atmospheric pressure. The conversion from Farenheit to Celsius is C = ( F - 32 ) / 1.8
A temperature scale invented in 1742 by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. This scale defines the melting point of water ice as 0° C, and the boiling point of water as 100° C. Because of the 100-degree interval between these two points, this scale is sometimes called the "centigrade scale".
a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 0 degrees and the boiling point of water as 100 degrees
A temperature scale based on water freezing and boiling point.
A temperature scale where zero is assigned to the temperature where water freezes and 100 to the temperature where water boils (at sea level).
a temperature scale in which 0 degrees is the freezing point and 100 is the boiling point of water
temperature scale on which the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point of water is divided into 100 degrees, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point and 100 degrees the boiling point
temperature scale devised in the early 18th century by a certain Elvius from Sweden (1710), a Christian of Lyons (1743), and the botanist Linnaeus (1740), apparently independently. Temperatures on this scale are denoted by °C. The normal freezing point of water is 0°C and the normal boiling point of water is 100°C. The scale was named after Anders Celsius who proposed a similar scale in 1742, but designating the freezing point to be 100 and the boiling point to be 0. The scale is sometimes also called the Centigrade scale. (See Fahrenheit scale, Kelvin scale, Réaumur scale.)
Scale for measuring temperature. In this scale, water boils at 100° and freezes at 0°.
Thermometer scale having 100 divisions between Scale freezing and boiling temperature of water.
