∙ 15y agoThe Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, established as 0°C and 100°C respectively.

∙ 15y ago-40 degrees Celsius is -40 degrees Fahrenheit. The conversion ratio "F = 1.8 C + 32" yields -40x1.8 = -72, plus 32 is -40 again.

∙ 8y ago- 273.15 °C corresponds to a thermodynamic temperature of 0 (0 K or 0 °R) so that would be the lowest temperature on the Celsius scale.

Is Celsius the opposite of temperature?
No, Celsius is a temperature scale.
The non-SI scale for temperature?
The SI scale for temperature is Kelvin, which you can get by subtracting 273,15 from the Celsius scale.
Why celsius scale gives negative temperature?
Temperature in Celsius can be negative. 0 degrees is freezing point in Celsius, so it is possible to get -1, -10 degrees, etc. However, not all temperatures in Celsius are negative.
Which temperature scale labels the freezing point of water at 0 degrees?
Centigrade degrees or the "Celsius" scale.
What is the temperature on a Celsius scale of 350 Fahrenheit?
A temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature of 176.67 degrees Celsius.
Does Celsius mean cold?
Not necessarily. Celsius is a temperature scale and can describe a large range of temperatures.
Is Celsius hot or is it cold?
Both and neither. Celsius is a temperature scale and as such, covers a wide range of temperatures.
Does Australia use the celsius temperature scale?
Yes. Beginning in 1970, Australia adopted the use of the Celsius (centigrade) scale for temperatures.
The celsius scale is used for what temperatures?
It can be used with any temperature. However the Kelvin scale (centigrade based on absolute zero) is often used for very cold temperatures, or for very hot temperatures, where it is practically the same as Celsius.
What are the two temperature scale?
The two most common temperature scales are the Fahrenheit scale and the Celsius scale. However, the Kelvin scale is also used, primarily in science, to prevent negative temperatures.
In the US do you measure temperature in degrees Celsius?
Scientific comparisons are done in Celsius, but outdoor readings are still announced, (and body temperatures still recorded) as temperatures on the Fahrenheit scale.
What is the metric temperature scale called?
The metric temperature scale is called the Celsius scale. The scale divides the range of temperatures between freezing and boiling at standard atmospheric condition into 100 equal parts.
Why does the kelvin thermometer start from -273 Celsius temperature?
The idea is to start at absolute zero - the lowest possible temperature. This happens to be -273.16 on the Centigrade (Celsius) scale. The Kelvin scale has no negative temperatures; zero degrees Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature.
Is Celsius the opposite of temperature?
No, Celsius is a temperature scale.
Does Celsius mean below zero?
No, Celsius is a temperature scale which can go down to -273.15. The hottest temperature attained by scientists is approx 4 trillion degrees and the theoretical maximum is 1.4*10^32 [140 nonillion] degrees. On balance, then, the range of negative temperatures on the Celsius scale is somewhat smaller than the positive temperatures.
What are the important temperatures in the Celsius scale?
the boiling point(100), the freezing point(0), and room temperature(20)
Temperatures scale used in SI?
The SI system uses the Kelvin temperature scale, which begins at 0° (at absolute zero) and uses the same degree size as the Celsius or centigrade scale. Water freezes at 273.15 °K, which is the equivalent of 0° Celsius. There are no negative temperatures on the Kelvin scale, as it is based on absolute zero and no lower temperature state can exist.
