Celsius. Anders

CELSIUS. ANDER (1701-1744). Celsius was a Swedish astronomer, mathematician, and physicist. He is best known for his development of a temperature scale based on the decimal system with fixed points separated by one hundred degrees. He proposed all scientific measurements of temperature should be based on the boiling point and the freezing point of water. [Pg.312]

Celsius, Anders (1701-1774) A Swedish astronomer, Celsius studied the aurora borealis and wreis the first to link the phenomena to the Earth s tm -netic field. He also participated in several expeditions designed to measure the size and shape of the Earth. Eounder of the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory, he explored star magnitude, observed eclipses, and compiled star catalogs. He is perhaps best known for the Celsius international temperature scale, which accounts for atmospheric... [Pg.2003]

Celsius, Anders (1701-44) A Swedish professor ofastronomy who, in 1742, introduced the idea of using 100 divisions between the fixed points of melting ice and boiling water on a mercury thermometer. He called the upper fixed point 0 and the lower fixed point 100. hi 1750 Marlin Stromer (1707-70), with whom Celsius had worked, inverted the scale. [Pg.59]
