On the scale he used, the boiling-point of water was marked at + 73 and the melting-point of ice at 51, so that the zero of his scale was equivalent to about − 240 on the Celsius scale.

Anders Celsius ( 27 November 1701 – 25 April 1744 ) was a Swedish astronomer.

The scale was inverted in 1745 by Carl Linnaeus, one year after Celsius ' death from tuberculosis.

Anders Celsius was born in Uppsala, Sweden on 27 November 1701.

Anders Celsius studied at Uppsala University, where his father was a teacher, and in 1730 he too, became a professor of astronomy there.

He was successful in the request, and Celsius founded the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory in 1741.

Celsius conducted many geographical measurements for the Swedish General map, and was one of earliest to note that much of Scandinavia is slowly rising above sea level, a continuous process which has been occurring since the melting of the ice from the latest ice age.

It was in fact Celsius who proposed the new academy's name.

Until the switch to the Celsius scale, the Fahrenheit scale was widely used in Europe.

Initially the law was formulated as pV < sub > m </ sub > = R ( T < sub > C </ sub > + 267 ) ( with temperature expressed in degrees Celsius ), where R is the gas constant.

However, later work revealed that the number should actually be closer to 273. 2, and then the Celsius scale was defined with 0 ° C

The Fahrenheit scale was replaced by the Celsius scale in most countries during the mid to late 20th century.

The Rankine temperature scale was created to use degree intervals the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, such that a temperature difference of one degree Rankine ( 1 R ) is equal to a difference of 1 ° F, except that absolute zero is 0 R – the same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K. The Fahrenheit scale uses ( in the same manner as the later Celsius scale ) the symbol ° to denote a point on the temperature scale and the letter F to indicate the use of the Fahrenheit scale ( e. g. " Gallium melts at 85. 5763 ° F "), as well as to denote a difference between temperatures or an uncertainty in temperature ( e. g. " The output of the heat exchanger experiences an increase of 72 ° F " and " Our standard uncertainty is ± 5 ° F ").

The coldest ever recorded was − 56. 7 degrees Celsius in Prince Albert, which is north of Saskatoon.

The innovative mathematician and physicist Samuel Klingenstierna ( 1698 – 1765 ) was made a professor in 1728, the physicist and astronomer Anders Celsius in 1729, and Carl Linnaeus was made professor of Medicine with Botany in 1741.

The scale is an absolute temperature scale with the same increment as the Celsius temperature scale, which was originally defined according the boiling point ( set to 100 ° C ) and melting point ( set to 0 ° C ) of water.

One covered a method for treating beeswax so that its melting point was raised from 60 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius ( from 140 ° F to 212 ° F ).

The lowest temperature was being-2 degree Celsius.

The cone was composed of a thin fiberglass shell coated with a gold wash to make it electrically conducting and painted with white stripes to maintain the temperature between 10 and 50 degrees Celsius.

" In other words, to erase your EPROM, you would first have to X-ray it and then put it in an oven at about 600 degrees Celsius ( to anneal semiconductor alterations caused by the x-rays ).

At the world ’ s first university low-temperature laboratory, professor Heike Kamerlingh Onnes achieved temperatures of only one degree above absolute zero of-273 degrees Celsius.

In the 18th century, Anders Celsius performed his research there and built the first observatory proper in 1741.

Although the heat conduction which leads to body cooling follows an exponential decay curve, it can be approximated as a linear process: 2 ° Celsius during the first hour and 1 ° Celsius per hour until the body nears ambient temperature.

The heat wave in Britain reaches 100 Fahrenheit ( 37. 8 Celsius ) at Heathrow, for the first time in history.

Swedish meteorologists define the beginning of spring as the first occasion on which the average daytime temperature exceeds zero degrees Celsius for seven consecutive days, thus the date varies with latitude and elevation.

The first digit ( 1 ) designates above or below zero Celsius ( 0 = above zero 1 = below zero ).

Uunijuusto is a Finnish dish made from cow's beestings, the first milk of a calved cow, by adding a pinch of salt ( some 0. 5 grams per a litre of milk ) and by baking the milk in an oven ( 30 minutes in 150 degrees Celsius, and for a few moments in 250 degrees to get the color ).

* January 27 – Scientists behind the climateprediction. net project, a distributed computing project run from Oxford University, announce that first results indicate a long term surface temperature increase due to global warming of between 2 and 11 degrees Celsius as a consequence of doubling carbon dioxide levels, with most of the simulations predicting a temperature rise of around 3. 4 ° C.

Once the water had reached approximately 65 degrees Celsius they added barley and after 45 minutes transferred it to separate vessels to ferment, first adding wild plant flavourings and yeast.

These " no-wax " skis are not as fast as waxable skis, but are more convenient to use and can perform better when the snow is at or very near the freezing point ( 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit ).

Three experiments remained on Atlantis: Extreme Temperature Translation Furnace ( ETTF ), a new furnace design allowing space-based processing up to 871 degrees Celsius ( 1, 600 degrees Fahrenheit ) and above ; Commercial Protein Crystal Growth ( CPCG ) complement of 128 individual samples involving 12 different proteins ; and Mechanics of Granular Materials, designed to further understanding of behavior of cohesionless granular materials, which could in turn lead to better understanding of how Earth ’ s surface responds during earthquakes and landslides.

Celsius is buried at Uppsala Church in Gamla Uppsala next to his grandfather

When the working liquid is water and the bain-marie is used at sea level, the maximum temperature of the material in the lower container will not exceed 100 degrees Celsius ( 212 F ), the boiling point of water at sea level.

Only bromine and mercury are liquids at 0 degrees Celsius ( 32 degrees Fahrenheit ) and normal atmospheric pressure ; caesium and gallium are solids at that temperature, but melt at 28. 4 ° C ( 83. 2 ° F ) and 29. 8 ° C ( 85. 6 ° F ), respectively.

Melting and boiling points, typically expressed in degrees Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere, are commonly used in characterizing the various elements.

This law states that at a constant pressure a perfect gas expands 1 / 273. 15 of its volume at 0 ° C, for each degree Celsius of rise in temperature.

This speed is temperature dependent and does increase at a rate of 0. 6 m / s for each degree Celsius increase in temperature ( 1. 1 ft / s for every increase of 1 ° F ).

The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect at − 40 ° (− 40 ° F and − 40 ° C represent the same temperature ).

Lemon balm requires light and at least 20 degrees Celsius ( 70 degrees Fahrenheit ) to germinate.

Limited interest has been shown in low friction properties of compacted oxide glaze layers formed at several hundred degrees Celsius in metallic sliding systems, however, practical use is still many years away due to their physically unstable nature.

" Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius ( 212 ° F ).

Silicon is a solid at room temperature, with relatively high melting and boiling points of approximately 1, 400 and 2, 800 degrees Celsius respectively.

Daytime temperatures are normally 25 to 32 degrees Celsius ( 77 to 90 ° F ), falling about 13 to at night.

The STM can be used not only in ultra-high vacuum but also in air, water, and various other liquid or gas ambients, and at temperatures ranging from near zero kelvin to a few hundred degrees Celsius.

After this initial fermentation period, water and the yeast culture Saccharomyces cerevisiae are added to the koji ( rice and mold mixture ) and allowed to incubate at 4 degree Celsius for about 7 days ( Uno et al., 2009 ).

The main mash then ferments, at approximately 15-20 degree Celsius for 2 – 3 weeks.
