What is Celsius?

Celsius is a way to measure temperature. We use it to know how hot or cold something is.

How does it work?

Imagine the world around you:

• Freezing Point: When water is really cold and turns to ice, it is at 0 degrees Celsius.
• Boiling Point: When water gets super hot and turns to steam, it is at 100 degrees Celsius.

What do these numbers mean?

The Celsius scale uses these two important points: 0 degrees (freezing) and 100 degrees (boiling) to measure temperature. If the temperature shows:

• Below 0: It's very cold, like when we see ice or snow.
• Between 0 and 100: It's warmer, like when the sun is out, but not boiling.
• Above 100: It's very hot, like boiling water.

Why is it important?

We use Celsius to help us understand the weather, cook food, and keep ourselves safe from extreme temperatures. Knowing if it’s cold or hot can help us decide what to wear or if we need to stay indoors.

Conclusion

So, the Celsius scale is pretty neat! It helps us know if we need to put on a sweater or jump into a pool!
