Understanding Celsius and Kelvin
Celsius (°C)
Metric temperature scale
• Developed by Anders Celsius in 1742
• Based on water freezing at 0° and boiling at 100°
• Used in most countries worldwide
• Standard for scientific work (except some fields)
• Easy to convert to Kelvin (+273.15)
Kelvin (K)
Absolute temperature scale
• Essential for physics and chemistry
• Used in astronomy for star temperatures
• Required for gas law calculations
• Standard for scientific papers
