0 degrees C
Centigrade degrees or the "Celsius" scale.
The freezing point of water in centigrade is 0 degrees Celsius.
The centigrade scale, now known as the Celsius scale, is based on 100 degrees, with the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure.
The freezing point of water (at standard atmospheric pressure) has been assigned the value of 0° on the Celsius, or centigrade, temperature scale.
0 centigrade
The Celsius scale is also known as the centigrade scale because it is divided into 100 equal intervals (centi- meaning 100). This scale was originally developed with 0 representing the freezing point of water and 100 representing the boiling point of water at sea level.
Centigrade (also called Celsius) is a temperature measurement scale which has 0 degrees as the freezing point of water and 100 degrees as its boling point. To convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit figure, multiply the result by 5 and then divide by 9.
Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale by proposing a temperature scale with 0 as the freezing point of water and 100 as the boiling point, with 100 degrees in between. He originally called this scale the centigrade scale but it was later renamed in his honor as the Celsius scale.
0 degrees centigrade (Celsius)
Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, devised a temperature scale in 1742 which had 0 as the boiling point of water and 100 as the freezing point of water. Carolus Linnaeus is considered to be the inventor of the centigrade scale in 1744 using 0 as the melting point of ice and 100 as the boiling point of water. The term Celsius was formally adopted for this scale in 1948.
The freezing point of water on the Celsius scale is 0 degrees Celsius.
It is based on units of ten, and the boiling point of water on the centigrade scale is 100 degrees. That's what centigrade means: Centi=100. Gradus=step or degree.
