Temperature conversion: Celsius scale convertor

The Celsius scale was created in 1742. Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius determined temperature 0 °C will be the boiling point of water and temperature 100 °C will be thaw point of ice. Later, Swedish doctor and naturalist Carl Linné reversed this scale so today temperature 0 °C is the thaw point of ice and 100 °C is the boiling point of water. All of it along with atmospheric pressure 1013,25 hPa. The smallest part of scale is called degree Celsius.

Temperature

Temperature is physical value which we indicate in temperature degrees and which base unit in SI system (The International System of Units) is kelvin (which is used in connection with thermodynamic temperature). Other units are for instance degree Celsius also known as centigrade degree (used in most of world), degree Fahrenheit (USA), Rankine degree (out-of-date unit) or Réaumur degree (almost non-used). For measuring of temperature are used devices called thermometers. Branch that deals with measuring of temperatures is called thermometry.
