The degree Celsius is the unit of temperature on the Celsius scale [one] (originally known as the centigrade scale exterior Sweden),[2] i of 2 temperature scales used in the International System of Units (SI), alongside the Kelvin scale. The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or a unit of measurement to bespeak a divergence or range betwixt two temperatures. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature calibration in 1742. Before being renamed in 1948 to honour Anders Celsius, the unit was called centigrade, from the Latin centum, which means 100, and gradus, which means steps. About major countries use this scale; the other major scale, Fahrenheit, is still used in the United States, some island territories, and Liberia. The Kelvin calibration is of use in the sciences, with 0 G (−273.fifteen °C) representing absolute cypher.

Since 1743 the Celsius calibration has been based on 0 °C for the freezing indicate of water and 100 °C for the humid point of water at 1 atm force per unit area. Prior to 1743 the values were reversed (i.e. the humid bespeak was 0 degrees and the freezing point was 100 degrees). The 1743 calibration reversal was proposed past Jean-Pierre Christin.

By international agreement, betwixt 1954 and 2019 the unit degree Celsius and the Celsius scale were defined past accented zero and the triple point of water. After 2007, it was clarified that this definition referred to Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW), a precisely defined water standard.[3] This definition also precisely related the Celsius scale to the scale of the kelvin, the SI base of operations unit of thermodynamic temperature with symbol K. Absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as being exactly 0 K and −273.xv °C. Until 19 May 2019, the temperature of the triple bespeak of water was divers every bit exactly 273.xvi K (0.01 °C).[4]

On xx May 2019, the kelvin was redefined so that its value is at present determined by the definition of the Boltzmann abiding rather than being defined by the triple point of VSMOW. This means that the triple point is now a measured value, not a defined value. The newly-defined exact value of the Boltzmann abiding was selected then that the measured value of the VSMOW triple point is exactly the same as the older divers value to within the limits of accuracy of gimmicky metrology. The temperature in degree Celsius is now defined as the temperature in kelvins subtracted by 273.15,[five] [half dozen] meaning that a temperature difference of one degree Celsius and that of ane kelvin are exactly the same,[7] and that the degree Celsius remains exactly equal to the kelvin (i.e., 0 °C remains exactly 273.15 Yard).

History [edit]

An illustration of Anders Celsius's original thermometer. Note the reversed scale, where 100 is the freezing point of water and 0 is its boiling point.

In 1742, Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744) created a temperature scale that was the reverse of the calibration now known as "Celsius": 0 represented the boiling point of water, while 100 represented the freezing point of water.[viii] In his paper Observations of ii persistent degrees on a thermometer, he recounted his experiments showing that the melting point of ice is essentially unaffected by force per unit area. He as well determined with remarkable precision how the boiling indicate of water varied as a role of atmospheric pressure. He proposed that the zero point of his temperature scale, beingness the boiling point, would be calibrated at the hateful barometric pressure at mean ocean level. This pressure is known equally one standard atmosphere. The BIPM's 10th Full general Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1954 divers one standard atmosphere to equal precisely 1,013,250 dynes per square centimeter (101.325 kPa).[9]

In 1743, the Lyonnais physicist Jean-Pierre Christin, permanent secretary of the Academy of Lyon, inverted the Celsius calibration so that 0 represented the freezing point of water and 100 represented the humid point of water. Some credit Christin for independently inventing the reverse of Celsius' original scale, while others believe Christin merely reversed Celsius' calibration.[10] [11] On 19 May 1743 he published the pattern of a mercury thermometer, the "Thermometer of Lyon" congenital past the craftsman Pierre Casati that used this calibration.[12] [thirteen] [14]

In 1744, coincident with the death of Anders Celsius, the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) reversed Celsius'southward calibration.[15] His custom-made "linnaeus-thermometer", for use in his greenhouses, was made by Daniel Ekström, Sweden's leading maker of scientific instruments at the time, whose workshop was located in the basement of the Stockholm observatory. As frequently happened in this age earlier modern communications, numerous physicists, scientists, and musical instrument makers are credited with having independently developed this same scale;[16] among them were Pehr Elvius, the secretary of the Majestic Swedish Academy of Sciences (which had an instrument workshop) and with whom Linnaeus had been corresponding; Daniel Ekström [sv], the instrument maker; and Mårten Strömer (1707–1770) who had studied astronomy under Anders Celsius.

The offset known Swedish document[17] reporting temperatures in this modern "forward" Celsius scale is the paper Hortus Upsaliensis dated 16 Dec 1745 that Linnaeus wrote to a educatee of his, Samuel Nauclér. In it, Linnaeus recounted the temperatures inside the orangery at the University of Uppsala Botanical Garden:

...since the caldarium (the hot office of the greenhouse) by the bending of the windows, simply from the rays of the sun, obtains such heat that the thermometer often reaches thirty degrees, although the keen gardener usually takes care not to let it rise to more than 20 to 25 degrees, and in winter not under 15 degrees...

Centigrade vis-à-vis Celsius [edit]

 Countries that employ Celsius (°C).

Since the 19th century, the scientific and thermometry communities worldwide have used the phrase "centigrade scale" and temperatures were often reported simply as "degrees" or, when greater specificity was desired, as "degrees centigrade", with the symbol °C.

In the French language, the term centigrade as well means one hundredth of a gradian, when used for angular measurement. The term centesimal degree was later introduced for temperatures[18] but was besides problematic, every bit it means gradian (one hundredth of a right bending) in the French and Spanish languages. The risk of confusion between temperature and angular measurement was eliminated in 1948 when the 9th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures and the Comité International des Poids et Mesures (CIPM) formally adopted "degree Celsius" for temperature.[19] [a]

While "Celsius" is the term commonly used in scientific piece of work, "centigrade" remains in mutual use in English-speaking countries, especially in informal contexts.[twenty]

While in Australia from 1 September 1972, simply Celsius measurements were given for temperature in conditions reports/forecasts,[21] it was not until February 1985 that the weather forecasts issued by the BBC switched from "centigrade" to "Celsius".[22]

Name and symbol typesetting [edit]

The "degree Celsius" has been the only SI unit of measurement whose full unit name contains an majuscule letter since 1967, when the SI base unit for temperature became the kelvin, replacing the capitalized term degrees Kelvin. The plural course is "degrees Celsius".[27]

The general rule of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is that the numerical value e'er precedes the unit, and a space is ever used to carve up the unit from the number, eastward.m. "30.2 °C" (not "30.2°C" or "30.2° C").[28] The only exceptions to this dominion are for the unit symbols for degree, minute, and second for aeroplane angle (°, ′, and ″, respectively), for which no space is left between the numerical value and the unit symbol.[29] Other languages, and diverse publishing houses, may follow different typographical rules.

Unicode character [edit]

Unicode provides the Celsius symbol at code betoken U+2103 ℃ Degree CELSIUS. However, this is a compatibility graphic symbol provided for roundtrip compatibility with legacy encodings. It easily allows correct rendering for vertically written Eastward Asian scripts, such as Chinese. The Unicode standard explicitly discourages the utilize of this character: "In normal use, it is ameliorate to correspond degrees Celsius "°C" with a sequence of U+00B0 ° Caste SIGN + U+0043 C LATIN Upper-case letter C, rather than U+2103 ℃ Caste CELSIUS. For searching, treat these two sequences every bit identical."[30]

Temperatures and intervals [edit]

The caste Celsius is subject to the same rules as the kelvin with regard to the utilize of its unit name and symbol. Thus, besides expressing specific temperatures forth its scale (east.g. "Gallium melts at 29.7646 °C" and "The temperature outside is 23 degrees Celsius"), the degree Celsius is also suitable for expressing temperature intervals: differences between temperatures or their uncertainties (e.g. "The output of the rut exchanger is hotter past 40 degrees Celsius", and "Our standard dubiousness is ±three °C").[31] Considering of this dual usage, one must not rely upon the unit proper noun or its symbol to denote that a quantity is a temperature interval; it must exist unambiguous through context or explicit statement that the quantity is an interval.[c] This is sometimes solved by using the symbol °C (pronounced "degrees Celsius") for a temperature, and C° (pronounced "Celsius degrees") for a temperature interval, although this usage is non-standard.[32] Some other style to express the same is "xl °C ± 3 Thousand", which can be commonly plant in literature.

Celsius measurement follows an interval organisation but not a ratio system; and it follows a relative calibration non an absolute scale. For instance, an object at 20 °C does not have twice the free energy of when information technology is 10 °C; and 0 °C is non the everyman Celsius value. Thus, degrees Celsius is a useful interval measurement but does not possess the characteristics of ratio measures like weight or distance.[33]

Coexistence of Kelvin and Celsius scales [edit]

In scientific discipline and in applied science, the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale are often used in combination in shut contexts, eastward.g. "a measured value was 0.01023 °C with an incertitude of 70 μK". This practice is permissible considering the magnitude of the degree Celsius is equal to that of the kelvin. However the official endorsement provided past decision no. 3 of Resolution 3 of the 13th CGPM,[34] which stated "a temperature interval may also be expressed in degrees Celsius", the do of simultaneously using both °C and 1000 remains widespread throughout the scientific world as the use of SI-prefixed forms of the degree Celsius (such as "μ°C" or "microdegrees Celsius") to express a temperature interval has not been well adopted.

Melting and boiling points of water [edit]

Comparisons amidst various temperature scales

The melting and humid points of water are no longer function of the definition of the Celsius calibration. In 1948, the definition was changed to use the triple point of h2o.[35] In 2005 the definition was further refined to use water with precisely defined isotopic composition (VSMOW) for the triple indicate. In 2019, the definition was changed to use the Boltzmann constant, completely decoupling the definition of the kelvin from the properties of h2o. Each of these formal definitions left the numerical values of the Celsius scale identical to the prior definition to within the limits of accurateness of the metrology of the fourth dimension.

When the melting and humid points of water ceased being function of the definition, they became measured quantities instead. This is also true of the triple signal.

In 1948 when the ninth General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in Resolution 3 first considered using the triple indicate of water as a defining bespeak, the triple point was so shut to being 0.01 °C greater than h2o's known melting point, it was simply divers every bit precisely 0.01 °C. Yet, later measurements showed that the divergence between the triple and melting points of VSMOW is actually very slightly (< 0.001 °C) greater than 0.01 °C. Thus, the actual melting signal of ice is very slightly (less than a thousandth of a caste) below 0 °C. Likewise, defining water'southward triple betoken at 273.16 K precisely defined the magnitude of each 1 °C increment in terms of the absolute thermodynamic temperature calibration (referencing absolute nothing). Now decoupled from the actual humid betoken of water, the value "100 °C" is hotter than 0 °C – in absolute terms – by a gene of exactly 373.15 / 273.fifteen (approximately 36.61% thermodynamically hotter). When adhering strictly to the ii-point definition for calibration, the boiling point of VSMOW nether i standard atmosphere of pressure was actually 373.1339 K (99.9839 °C). When calibrated to ITS-90 (a calibration standard comprising many definition points and commonly used for loftier-precision instrumentation), the boiling point of VSMOW was slightly less, almost 99.974 °C.[36]

This boiling-point divergence of 16.1 millikelvins between the Celsius scale's original definition and the previous i (based on absolute zero and the triple point) has fiddling applied significant in common daily applications because water's boiling point is very sensitive to variations in barometric force per unit area. For instance, an distance change of only 28 cm (eleven in) causes the boiling betoken to modify by one millikelvin.

Notes [edit]

  1. ^ According to The Oxford English Lexicon (OED), the term "Celsius' thermometer" had been used at least as early as 1797. Further, the term "The Celsius or Centigrade thermometer" was again used in reference to a particular blazon of thermometer at least as early as 1850. The OED also cites this 1928 reporting of a temperature: "My distance was almost 5,800 metres, the temperature was 28° Celsius." Yet, dictionaries seek to find the earliest utilize of a word or term and are non a useful resource as regards to the terminology used throughout the history of science. According to several writings of Dr. Terry Quinn CBE FRS, Director of the BIPM (1988–2004), including "Temperature Scales from the early days of thermometry to the 21st century" (PDF). Archived from the original (PDF) on 26 December 2010. Retrieved 31 May 2016. (146 KiB) every bit well every bit Temperature (2nd Edition/1990/Academic Printing/0125696817), the term Celsius in connectedness with the centigrade calibration was not used whatsoever by the scientific or thermometry communities until after the CIPM and CGPM adopted the term in 1948. The BIPM was not fifty-fifty aware that "caste Celsius" was in sporadic, non-scientific use before that time. Information technology is as well noteworthy that the twelve-volume, 1933 edition of OED didn't even have a listing for the word Celsius (simply did have listings for both centigrade and centesimal in the context of temperature measurement). The 1948 adoption of Celsius accomplished three objectives:
    one.    All mutual temperature scales would have their units named after someone closely associated with them; namely, Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit, Réaumur and Rankine.
    two.    Notwithstanding the of import contribution of Linnaeus who gave the Celsius calibration its modern form, Celsius's name was the obvious choice because information technology began with the letter C. Thus, the symbol °C that for centuries had been used in clan with the name centigrade could remain in utilise and would simultaneously inherit an intuitive association with the new name.
    three.    The new name eliminated the ambiguity of the term "centigrade", freeing it to refer exclusively to the French-language name for the unit of angular measurement.
  2. ^ For Vienna Standard Mean Bounding main H2o at i standard atmosphere (101.325 kPa) when calibrated solely per the two-bespeak definition of thermodynamic temperature. Older definitions of the Celsius calibration once defined the boiling bespeak of water under i standard temper as being precisely 100 °C. Yet, the current definition results in a boiling point that is actually 16.1 mK less. For more about the actual humid signal of water, meet VSMOW in temperature measurement. A different approximation uses ITS-90, which approximates the temperature to 99.974 °C
  3. ^ In 1948, Resolution 7 of the 9th CGPM stated, "To point a temperature interval or departure, rather than a temperature, the word 'degree' in full, or the abbreviation 'deg' must be used." This resolution was abrogated in 1967/1968 by Resolution 3 of the 13th CGPM, which stated that ["The names "degree Kelvin" and "caste", the symbols "°K" and "deg" and the rules for their utilise given in Resolution 7 of the 9th CGPM (1948),] ...and the designation of the unit to express an interval or a difference of temperatures are abrogated, but the usages which derive from these decisions remain permissible for the time beingness." Consequently, there is now broad freedom in usage regarding how to bespeak a temperature interval. The most of import thing is that i's intention must be clear and the basic rule of the SI must be followed; namely that the unit of measurement name or its symbol must not exist relied upon to indicate the nature of the quantity. Thus, if a temperature interval is, say, 10 G or x °C (which may be written 10 kelvins or 10 degrees Celsius), information technology must exist unambiguous through obvious context or explicit statement that the quantity is an interval. Rules governing the expressing of temperatures and intervals are covered in the BIPM's "SI Brochure, eighth edition" (PDF). (ane.39 MiB).
