   Celsius
   A scale of temperature based on one introduced in 1742 by Celsius, a Swedish astronomer and physicist, who divided the interval between the freezing and boiling points of water into 100 parts, the lower fixed point being marked 100. The present system, where the freezing point is marked 0 and the boiling point is marked 100, was introduced by Christin of Lyons, in 1743. This latter scale is now referred to as the Celsius scale; alternative names are the centigrade scale, and less commonly the centesimal scale.

   Celsius
   Also known as Centigrade. A scale for measuring temperature in which the freezing point of water is 0Æ’ and the boiling point is 100Æ’. Now used for the oven settings on electric cookers, replacing the Fahrenheit scale which is gradually becoming obsolete in Europe.

6. 
   Celsius
   temperature scale Temperature scale with the ice point of water as 0 and the boiling point as 100 at 1 standard atmosphere pressure. The degree Celsius is equal in magnitude to the Kelvin. The Celsius scale is the same as the centigrade scale. The temperature in Celsius = the temperature in Kelvin - 273.15

    Celsius
    `Celsius` is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the `centigrade scale`). The `degree Celsius` (symbol: `ðC`) can refer to a specific temperature on the `Celsius scale` as well as serve as unit increment to indicate a temperature `interval `(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). `Celsius` is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744), who developed a similar t...
