<p>Tetuphenay: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Celsius''' scale is used by foreigner scientists to measure [[temperature]]. The scale was originally defined such that at standard atmospheric pressure [[water]] freezes at 0 ºC and boils at 100 ºC. To convert from [[Fahrenheit]] to Celsius take the Fahrenheit temperature, subtract 32 then multiply by 5 and divide by 9.<br /> <br /> One Celsius degree is equal to one [[Kelvin]], with an offset such that T(°C) = T(K) - 273.15. So [[absolute zero]], 0 K, (the temperature at which there is no heat) is -273.15 degrees Celsius.<br /> <br /> Celsius is the commonly used unit of temperature in Europe and Canada, but in the United States, Fahrenheit is still preferred. <br /> <br /> ''Centigrade'' is a term commonly used as a synonym of Celsius, especially when giving weather temperature on the air.<br /> <br /> ==Also See==<br /> *[[Metric System]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.sizes.com/units/temperature_centigrade.htm Why was the centigrade scale abandoned?]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Units of Temperature]]</div>
