The Celsius scale is nowadays set in such a way that Zero degrees C is the temperature at which ice melts note : not the temperature at which it freezes, which is different! At the other end of the scale, degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water.

The scientific definition of Celsius is now defined against degrees Kelvin. Zero degrees Celsius is One degree Celsius is equal to one Kelvin, so we can say that the boiling point of water is equal to Most things we measure — length, width, time etc. We all know exactly how long zero centimeters or inches is, and can convert zero of any of those units into another type of unit very easily.
