Historical Background

The Celsius scale, created by Anders Celsius in 1742, is the most widely used temperature scale worldwide. Initially, Celsius proposed a reversed version where 0° marked water's boiling point and 100° its freezing point. A year later, the scale was inverted to its current form, making it more intuitive for everyday use.
