A metric scale of temperature, originally defined as having the freezing point of water as 0° and its boiling point as 100°, at standard atmospheric pressure. The standardized definition has 0.01° C as the triple point of water, and a difference in temperature of 1° C corresponds to 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point and the absolute zero

Celsius is a scale for measuring temperature, in which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees. It is represented by the symbol °C. Highest temperatures 11° Celsius, that's 52° Fahrenheit. = centigrade Celsius is also a noun. The thermometer shows the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Swedish astronomer who devised (1742) the centigrade thermometer. a scale of temperature in which water freezes at 0º and boils at 100º = Centigrade (Anders Celsius (1701-44), Swedish scientist who invented the scale)
{s} of or pertaining to the temperature scale in which there are 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling points, centigrade (named after Anders Celsius)
