c" is for "centi" as in "centimeters" or "centiliters" - "cm" and "cl". There is 100 centimeters to a meter, just as there are 100 cents to a dollar.

Another answer

In physics, 'c' usually means a "constant", but there is a special "c" that means the speed of propogation of electro-magnetic waves through the vacuum of space - also known as "The Speed of Light" - which is approximately 186 million miles per second or about 300,000 kilometres per second.

It is the 'c' in Einstein's famous equation:

E = mc2

When the temperature in Celsius is doubled from 10 Celsius to 20 Celsius is the temperature doubled on the Fahrenheit scale?

No, when the temperature in Celsius doubles from 10°C to 20°C, the temperature in Fahrenheit does not double. The relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures is not linear, so a doubling in Celsius temperature does not equate to a doubling in Fahrenheit temperature.


Why is the C in Celsius have to be spelled with a capital c?

The capital "C" in Celsius is used to honor the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius who developed the temperature scale. It helps differentiate between the Celsius temperature scale and the unrelated temperature scale, Fahrenheit.

At what temperature would Celsius and Fahrenheit be equal?

Let's call the temperature in Fahrenheit F, and the temperature in Celsius C. F = 1.8 C + 32 C = F C = 1.8 C + 32 -32 = 0.8 C C = -40, so -40 is the temperature at which the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales match.


What does the C mean in degrees C?

The 'C' stands for Celsius which is the scale of temperature in which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under standard conditions. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale.


If a temperature of 273 kelvins what is the temperature in celsius?

The temperature in Celsius is 0 degrees. You can convert from Kelvin to Celsius by subtracting 273 from the temperature in Kelvin.
