0C is the freezing point of water (or more accurately the melting point of ice) and it is 32F. A 1 Celsius change is a change of 1.8 Fahrenheits while a 1 Fahrenheit change translates to a change of 0.55 Celsius. This is one of the easiest way to convert them if you know that 0C = 32F.
Kelvin Scale. Degrees Celsius (Â°C) and kelvins (K) have the same magnitude. The only difference between the scales is their starting points: 0 K is absolute zero, while 0Â°C is the freezing point of water. One can convert degrees Celsius to kelvins by adding 273.15; thus, the boiling point of water, 100Â°C, is 373.15 K.
The freezing point of water is the temperature at which it changes phase from a liquid to a solid. Mark Mawson / Contributor / Getty Images. by Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Updated March 30, 2017. The freezing point or melting point of water is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid or vice versa. The freezing point describes the liquid to solid transition while the melting point is the temperature at which water goes from a solid (ice) to liquid water.
