	Celsius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Celsius scale sets 0.01 °C to be at the triple point of water and a degree Celsius to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point of water and absolute zero.
		The Centigrade scale is the original scale devised by Anders Celsius (1701-1744) in which the boiling point of water at 1,000 millibars was defined as 0 degrees and the freezing point of water was defined as 100 degrees.
		The current official definition of the Celsius scale sets 0.01 °C to be at the triple point of water and a degree to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point of water and absolute zero.

	Anders Celsius - Scandinavia Files
		In 1948 the system's name was officially changed to Celsius by the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures, both in recognition of Celsius himself and to eliminate confusion caused by conflict with the SI (metric) use of the centi- prefix.
		Anders Celsius originally proposed that the freezing point should be 100 degrees and that the boiling point should be 0 degrees.
		The Celsius scale is used throughout most of the world for day-to-day purposes, though in broadcast media it was still frequently referred to as centigrade until the late 1980s or early 1990s, particularly by weather forecasters on European networks such as the BBC, ITV, and RTÉ.

		Anders Celsius, born in Uppsala, was one of a large number of scientists (all related) originating from Ovanåker in the province of Hälsingland.
		Celsius published most of his work in the publications of the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala, which is the oldest Swedish scientific society founded in 1710, where Celsius was the secretary 1725-1744, and in the publications of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, founded in 1739.

		Anders Celsius was born at the 27th of January 1701 in Uppsala.
		Celsius became famous for his recommendation in 1742 to divide the temperature scale of a mercury thermometer at 760mm mercury air pressure into 100 degrees, where 100 is the frozing point and 0 the boiling point of water.
		Later the reversion of the Celsius scale with 0 as the frozing point and 100 as the boiling point of water was introduced, and with this modification it became widely spread.

	Super Scientists - Anders Celsius
		Celsius was born in Uppsala where he succeeded his father as professor of astronomy in 1730.
		Celsius' fixed scale for measuring temperature defines zero degrees as the temperature at which water freezes, and 100 degrees as the temperature at which water boils.
		This scale, an inverted form of Celsius' original design, was adopted as the standard and is still used in almost all scientific work.

	Nordic Culture > Anders Celsius, Swedish astronomer and physicist - Scandinavica.com
		From 1735 to 1737 Celsius took part in earth measuring expeditions to the Ecuator and to Torneå in Swedish Lapland, after which he confirmed the theory of Newton that the shape of the earth is an ellipsoid flattened at the poles.
		Celsius' participation in this expedition made him famous and gave him the support of the Swedish authorities to build a modern observatory in Uppsala, which was finished in 1741 with the most modern instrumental technology at that time.
		Celsius traveled many times to Lapland to study the Aurora Borealis, where he realized the changes of the Earth's magnetic field at the time of the Northern lights and discovered that the Aurora's magnetic activity influences compass needles.

		Anders Celsius early became engaged in the general problem of weights and measures, including temperature measurements.
		Anders Celsius should be recognized as the first to perform and publish careful experiments aiming at the definition of an international temperature scale on scientific grounds.
		Celsius was accustomed to the Réaumur thermometer, but he also used a thermometer made by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle with zero at the boiling point, thus creating a reversed scale with increasing numbers for decreasing temperatures, but avoiding negative numbers.

		Celsius was an astronomer who was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1701 and died there 43 years later.
		A 100-degree scale had been used before Celsius began experimenting with thermometers, but it was his paper, "Observations on two persistent degrees on a thermometer" that earned his monogram a spot on everyone's thermometer.
		After he died, his scale was inverted to what we know now as the Celsius scale, with zero representing the freezing point of water at standard atmospheric pressure and 100 the boiling point.

		Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, introduced his scale is 1742.
		For a long time, the Celsius scale was called "centigrade." The Greek prefix "centi" means one-hundredth and each degree Celsius is one-hundredth of the way between the temperatures of freezing and boiling for water.
		The Celsius temperature scale is part of the "metric system" of measurement (SI) and is used throughout the world, though not yet embraced by the American public.
