Scale of temperature the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death. The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature "interval "(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). From 1744 until 1954, 0 °C was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere. Although these defining correlations are commonly taught in schools today, by international agreement the unit "degree Celsius" and
Planck temperature scale Planck temperature scale The Planck temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale using natural units. On this scale, 0 is absolute zero, and 1 is the Planck temperature. Quantum Theory states that the Planck temperature is the hottest possible temperature. The symbol used for this scale is "T". The freezing/melting point of water on this scale would be written 1.928 × 10"T". A way of expressing temperatures in more familiar sized units is to use centimicroyocto plank temperatures (cµy"T"). The freezing point of water is 1.928 × 10"T". By simply moving the decimal point 32 places to the right, you
