Celsiusfokra

Celsiusfokra is a unit of temperature measurement named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. It is the most widely used temperature scale in the world, particularly for everyday purposes and in scientific contexts. The scale is defined by two fixed points: the freezing point of water at standard atmospheric pressure, which is set at 0 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure, which is set at 100 degrees Celsius.

The interval between these two points is divided into 100 equal degrees. This makes the Celsius scale an easy-to-understand and practical system for measuring temperature. It is part of the International System of Units (SI) as a derived unit, though the kelvin is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature. Conversions between Celsius and Fahrenheit, another common temperature scale, are straightforward.

The Celsius scale was originally conceived with 0 degrees representing the boiling point of water and 100 degrees representing the freezing point. However, this was later inverted, giving us the modern scale where 0 degrees is freezing and 100 degrees is boiling. This inverted scale was adopted by the scientific community and eventually became the standard worldwide. Today, Celsiusfokra is used in meteorology, cooking, and virtually all aspects of daily life where temperature is relevant.
