Question

Describe the Celsius scale of temperature.

Answer 1

In Celsius scale, melting point of ice and boiling point of water are referred as "lower fixed point" and "upper fixed point" respectively. The temperature difference between the reference points is divided into 100 divisions and each division is called "one degree Celsius" (1^oC). Thus, the melting point of ice is taken as 0^oC and the boiling point as 100^oC.
