| 释义 | > as lemmasCelsius scale Celsius scale n. (also †Celsius's scale) a scale of temperature in which 0° is the freezing point of water and 100° is the boiling point. Cf. centigrade adj. 1a.In scientific use the term Celsius was formally adopted in place of centigrade in 1948 (see quot. 1949 at sense B.); see the note at centigrade adj. 1a. The Celsius scale was redefined in 1954 in terms of the Kelvin scale, by the relationship °C = °K − 273.15, thereby effectively replacing the freezing point of water at 0°C as a fixed point by the triple point of water at 0.01°C. (see the note at Kelvin n. 4a).The relationship between the Celsius scale and the Fahrenheit scale is as follows: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.extracted from Celsiusn.adj.< as lemmas |
