Temperature

Unit Definition:

Degree Celsius is the most common metric unit of temperature. It was named after the Swedish astronomer and physicist Anders Celsius. The freezing point of water (at 1atm.) was originally defined to be 0?C and the boiling point at 100?C. It should be noted that the scale of the two units, degrees Celsius and degrees Kelvin are actually the same, although degrees Celsius is actually offset by 273? when compared to the Kelvin scale. 0? Kelvin (-273?C) is defined at the point at which all molecular motion stops.
