Question

In which scale the temperature at which pure water freezes at sea level has been taken as lower fixed point ?

Answer 1

For pure water, the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit) at one atmosphere of pressure, and the melting point is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at one atmosphere of pressure. At at high altitudes the lower pressure makes the boiling point several degrees lower.
