If you mean the freezing point of water and what the weather men refer to as freezing, then it is 32 0F.

What is Celsius frezzing point?

On the Celsius, or Centigrade temperature scale, freezing is 0 (zero) degrees. On the Celsius, or Centigrade temperature scale, freezing is 0 (zero) degrees.


Person who invented temperature scale that uses 0 degrees for freezing point?

Carl Linneaus convinced Celsius to invert his original scale which had water's freezing point at 100 and its boiling point at 0


What is the boiling melting and freezing point?

A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.


In measuring a given temperature what scale will have the highest reading?

For a given temperature, Kelvin scale will show the highest value. However, a given temperature will be same on Kelvin, Celcius or Fahrenheit scale. E.g. At the freezing point of water, Kelvin will show 273.15 degrees, Celcius will show 0 degrees and Fahrenheit will be 32 degrees. That means, at freezing point of water = 00C = 273.15K = 320F


What is Fahrenheit and Celsius based upon?

The celsius scale is a metric scale of temperature measurement. Unlike the Fahrenheit scale 0 degrees is freezing point and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water. The celsius scale is used anywhere the metric system is used. In addition to the Fahrenheit and celsius scale there is also the kelvin scale, used mainly only by scientists. Unlike other scales, on the kelvin scale 0 degrees is the lowest temperature possible (known as absolute zero and equivalent to -273 degrees in celsius) and there are therefore no negative readings.Early thermometers (like the one Galileo invented) did not have any scale (markings with numbers) to determine precise temperature.The 1st precise scale was developed by Anders Celsius in 1742. He used 'degree' as the unit of temperature. All of his standards for comparison to make his markings (on his scale) were based on the properties of water.Ø 100o was assigned the temperature at which ice melts at sea levelØ 0o was assigned the temperature at which liquid water boils at sea levelØ The region between (above and below, as well) these two extremes was separated into 100 equal units (degrees)In 1744, this was reversed to put the freezing point at 0C, and the boiling point at 100C. This is the scale in use today.Ø The two fixed temperatures that Celsius chose can be used to calibrate a thermometer (p. 195)

The scale of temperature independent on thermal properties?

Only the Kelvin scale. The Celsius scale, for example is based on the thermal properties of water, as is the Reaumur scale. The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing point of brine, the freezing point of water and, possibly, the normal body temperature.
