About (symbol:
Definition: Celsius (symbol: °C) is a temperature scale where water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure. Originally called centigrade.
History: Developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, originally with 0° as boiling point and 100° as freezing point. The scale was inverted after his death to the current form.
Current Use: Standard temperature scale used worldwide for weather, cooking, medical measurements, and scientific applications. Official scale in most countries except the United States.
Examples: Weather: -10°C to 40°C, cooking: 180°C oven, fever: 39°C, refrigerator: 4°C
