Conversion fromtoFormula
CelsiusFahrenheit°F = °C × 1.8 + 32
FahrenheitCelsius°C = (°F − 32) / 1.8
CelsiusKelvinK = °C + 273.15
KelvinCelsius°C = K − 273.15

The Celsius scale is a temperature scale named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who first proposed a similar system in 1742. From around 1750 it was known as the Centigrade scale, and though it was renamed after Celsius in 1948, the older name is still in widespread use. One reason for the change was that the term centigrade was in use in continental Europe as a measure of plane angle equal to one ten-thousandth part of a right angle.

The Celsius scale sets 0.01 °C to be at the triple point of water and a degree Celsius to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point of water and absolute zero. Until 1954 the scale was defined with the freezing point of water at 0 °C and the boiling point at 100 °C at standard atmospheric pressure. This definition is still a close approximation to the modern definition.

The Celsius scale is the world's most commonly used temperature scale. It has been adopted by virtually all the countries of the world, with the notable exceptions of the United States of America and Jamaica. In broadcast media it was still frequently referred to as centigrade until the late 1980s or early 1990s, particularly by weather forecasters on European networks such as the BBC, ITV, and RTÉ. In the United States and Jamaica, Fahrenheit remains the preferred scale for everyday temperature measurement, although Celsius or kelvin is used for aeronautical and scientific applications.

The Unicode character set contains a dedicated precomposed degrees Celsius character (℃, U+2103). This character was only intended for compatibility mapping of legacy character sets that contain it as well. It should not be used in new texts.
