Unit History
About celsius
Developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, the Celsius scale sets water's freezing point at 0° and boiling point at 100° at standard atmospheric pressure. It is the most widely used temperature scale in science and everyday life worldwide.
About kelvin
The Kelvin scale, named for Lord Kelvin, is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature. Anchored at absolute zero, it is essential for scientific calculations that require an absolute temperature reference.
