Celsius, historically known as centigrade, is a scale and unit of measurement for temperature. As an SI derived unit, it is used by most countries in the world.

Degrees Celsius is named after the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius, who proposed in 1742 a new scale for measuring temperature. For zero Celsius adopted ice melting point (freezing) and 100 degree - the boiling point (vapor condensation) at standard atmospheric pressure. Initially, 100 ° Celsius took the temperature of melting ice, and for from 0 ° - the boiling point of water. And then his compatriot Mårten Strömer «flipped» this scale.

This scale is linear in the range of 0 - 100° and extends linearly in the 0° and less than 100°.

According to current definitions, the value equal to one degree Celsius Kelvin, Celsius and zero is set so that the temperature of the triple point of water is 0,01 °C. As a result, Celsius and Kelvin shifted by 273.15.

[°C] = [K] - 273,15

The temperature on the Celsius scale to denote a small Latin letter t, and the absolute temperature - a large capital letter T.

To convert values from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula: [°F] = [°C] × 9⁄5 + 32

To convert values from degrees Celsius to Kelvin following formula is used: [K] = [°C] + 273.15
