degrees Celsius
Water-based heat scale
Degrees Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement on the Celsius scale, where water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° at standard atmospheric pressure.
The scale is used worldwide for weather, cooking, and science, though the United States still favors Fahrenheit for everyday purposes: It's 25 degrees Celsius outside—perfect weather.
