Celsius (Energy)

A temperature scale based on the freezing (0 degrees) and boiling (100 degrees) points of water. Abbreviated as C in second and subsequent references in text. Formerly known as Centigrade. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the number by 9, divide by 5, and add 32. For example:
10 degrees Celsius x 9 = 90; 90 / 5 = 18; 18 + 32 = 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Celsius (Food)

A temperature scale (also called centigrade) in which 0 degrees represents freezing and 100 degrees represents the boiling point. To convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celcius figure by 9, devide by 5 and add 32.

Celsius (Import Cars)

The metric scale for temperature where water (H2O) freezes at 0 degree C and boils at 100 degrees C.

Celsius (Planetary Science)

A temperature scale that assigns the value 0o C to the freezing point of water and the value of 100o C to the boiling point of water at standard pressure.
