Celsiusfokból

Celsiusfokból, also known as Celsius degree, is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is part of the Celsius scale, which is used in most countries around the world. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with 0 degrees Celsius representing the freezing point and 100 degrees Celsius representing the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.

The Celsius scale is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed it in 1742. The scale was originally defined with 0 degrees representing the boiling point of water and 100 degrees representing the freezing point. This was later reversed to its current form to align with the Fahrenheit scale, which was already in use at the time.

The Celsius scale is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts. It is used in weather reports, cooking, and many other applications. The Celsius scale is also used in the International System of Units (SI), which is the modern form of the metric system.

The Celsius scale is closely related to the Kelvin scale, which is used in scientific contexts. The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, with 0 Kelvin representing absolute zero, the theoretical lowest temperature possible. The Celsius scale is offset from the Kelvin scale by 273.15 degrees, so 0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 273.15 Kelvin.

In summary, Celsiusfokból is a unit of measurement for temperature, part of the Celsius scale, which is based on the freezing and boiling points of water. It is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts and is closely related to the Kelvin scale.
