The '''Celsius''' scale is used by foreigner scientists to measure [[temperature]]. The scale was originally defined such that at standard atmospheric pressure [[water]] freezes at 0 ºC and boils at 100 ºC. To convert from [[Fahrenheit]] to Celsius take the Fahrenheit temperature, subtract 32 then multiply by 5 and divide by 9.

One Celsius degree is equal to one [[Kelvin]], with an offset such that T(°C) = T(K) - 273.15. So [[absolute zero]], 0 K, (the temperature at which there is no heat) is -273.15 degrees Celsius.
