NCIt related terms : C; Cel; Degree C; celsius temperature;
NCIt definition : A unit of temperature of the temperature scale designed so that the freezing point
of water is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees at standard atmospheric
pressure. The current official definition of the Celsius sets 0.01 C to be at the
triple point of water and a degree to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature
between the triple point of water and absolute zero. One degree Celsius represents
the same temperature difference as one Kelvin.;
