1. degree celsius

   The degree Celsius is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale, a temperature scale originally known as the centigrade scale. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who first proposed a similar system in 1742. The degree Celsius is a derived unit of temperature. Zero degrees Celsius is defined as the freezing point of water and 100 degrees Celsius is defined as the boiling point of water, both at standard atmospheric pressure.

1. Degree Celsius

   Celsius, also known as centigrade, is a scale and unit of measurement for temperature. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed a similar temperature scale. The degree Celsius can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval, a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty. The unit was known until 1948 as "centigrade" from the Latin centum translated as 100 and gradus translated as "steps". From 1743 until 1954, 0 °C was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere with mercury being the working material. Although these defining correlations are commonly taught in schools today, by international agreement the unit "degree Celsius" and the Celsius scale are currently defined by two different temperatures: absolute zero, and the triple point of VSMOW. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which defines the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature with symbol K. Absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible at which matter reaches minimum entropy, is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The temperature of the triple point of water is defined as precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C.

Examples of degree celsius in a Sentence

1. Lisanne Blauw:

   We calculated that a 1-degree Celsius rise in environmental temperature could account for more than 100,000 new diabetes cases per year in the USA alone, future research into the effects of global warming on our health status is therefore of great importance.

2. Mary Ann Lucille Sering:

   The reports underscore just how much difference even half a degree of additional heat makes for people's lives, for working conditions and for the movement of people, how can we possibly subscribe to more than double current warming given what less than 1 degree Celsius has entailed?

3. Michael Read:

   Basically they were stuck in the car for the 55 hours in 30-degree (Celsius – about 86 Fahrenheit) heat, nobody knows what they went through.

4. Van Beurden:

   It will take an unprecedented amount of effort to bring about a net zero emissions future, if collectively we find a way to stay within the 2 degree (Celsius limit), we will still need significant investment in oil and gas...I am talking about up to a trillion dollars every year.

5. Gavin Schmidt:

   The last seven years have all been more than 1-degree Celsius above the 19th century -- and that's large enough on a planetary scale to start showing up much, much more clearly in local and regional and extreme events, the global warming is now large enough that it's an indicator of all those other things that we're already seeing. So, we're now seeing global warming quite locally in ways that, a decade ago or maybe 20 years ago, was still unclear.
