About the celsius
The Celsius scale was proposed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, originally inverted (0 for boiling, 100 for freezing). Carl Linnaeus reversed it to its modern form.
In everyday use the celsius appears in daily weather reporting, cooking, scientific research, and medicine worldwide. As a point of reference: water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard pressure.
