Answer 2

Celsius is a system of measurement for temperature. You probably know what Fahrenheit is. Well, Celsius is the form of temperature measurement in countries that incorporate the metric system (usually), and is more common in usage of science (although Kelvin is used much more in chemistry and physics).

Of course, Celsius was named after a scientist, Anders Celsius. For more info:

Answer 3

A famous scientist Andre Celsius introduced the centigrade or Celsius scale of temperature having lower fixed point(melting point of pure ice)at zero and upper fixed point (boiling point of pure water) at 100.The length of the stem of Celcius thermometer in between these two points is equally divided into 100 parts and each part is known as 1 degree Centrigate or more popularly as 1 degree celcius.

Answer 4

celsius is a unit of measurement for temperature. it is still in use, likely not in america, but europe and africa.
its conversion to Kelvin (K) is as follows:
degree Kelvin (K) = 273 + degree Celcius.
zero degree Celcius is = 32 degree Fahrenheit.. sorry bout the xpellin if tis wrong mates
it was /is also knwn as degree centigrade
mayb its time 4 yahoo to give us a control to do superscript and subscript. what say ye?
