Celsius, also known as centigrade, is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed the scale in 1742. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees, under standard atmospheric pressure.
To convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, you can use the following formulas:
The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees, under standard atmospheric pressure.
The Celsius scale was developed by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742.
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit: F = (C × 9/5) + 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius: C = (F - 32) × 5/9
Understanding the Celsius scale is important for understanding temperature measurements in many scientific and everyday contexts.
