Scale for measuring temperature. In this scale, water boils at 100° and freezes at 0°.

A temperature scale (°C) equal to 5/9 (°F − 32) that measures the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point of water at 100°C.

scale for measuring surface temperature, used by most of the world, in which the boiling point of water is 100 degrees.

A temperature scale with 0°C as the ice point and 100°C as the steam point.

A temperature scale where water freezes at 0º C and boils at  100º C.

The temperature scale using the ice point as 0o and the steam point as 100o, with 100 equal divisions, or degrees, between; formerly the centigrade scale.

(n.) A temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 &#176 and boils at 100&#176.

temperature scale devised in the early 18th century by a certain Elvius from Sweden (1710), a Christian of Lyons (1743), and the botanist Linnaeus (1740), apparently independently. Temperatures on thi [..]

Scale for measuring temperature. In this scale, water boils at 100° and freezes at 0°.

the metric temperature scale for which 0&#176C is the temperature at which water freezes and 100&#176C is the temperature at which water boils, at standard atmospheric pressure. The conversion [..]

A temperature scale where zero is assigned to the temperature where water freezes and 100 to the temperature where water boils (at sea level).
