About Celsius and Celsius scale
The degree Celsius, sometimes called simply degree or degree centigrade, is a unit of temperature.
The Celsius scale is a temperature scale named after the famous astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744). On the Celsius (or centigrade) temperature scale, 0 °C correspond to the freezing temperature of water while 100 °C correspond to the boiling temperature of water at normal pressure (1 atmosphere).
The Celsius scale (or centigrade scale) is widely used in the world for most temperature measurement purposes.
Symbol: °C
Plural: degrees Celsius
Also known as: degree or degree centigrade (plural: degrees centigrade)
Common Celsius conversions:
- 0 degrees Celsius (°C) or centigrade = 273.15 kelvins (K) = 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
- 20 degrees Celsius (°C) or centigrade = 293.15 kelvins (K) = 68 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
- 21 degrees Celsius (°C) or centigrade = 294.15 kelvins (K) = 69.8 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
- 37 degrees Celsius (°C) or centigrade = 310.15 kelvins (K) = 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
- 100 degrees Celsius (°C) or centigrade = 373.15 kelvins (K) = 212 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
- 160 degrees Celsius (°C) or centigrade = 433.15 kelvins (K) = 320 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
