Question

What is the mistake that Anders Celsius did while deciding the reading of the celcius scale?

Answer 1

The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale,[1][2] is a temperature scale. As an SI derived unit, it is used worldwide. However, in the United States,[3] the Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, and Liberia, Fahrenheit remains the preferred scale for everyday temperature measurement. The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or a unit to indicate a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature scale. Before being renamed to honour Anders Celsius in 1948, the unit was called centigrade, from the Latin centum, which means 100, and gradus, which means steps. Hope it helps you mate

Answer 2

Answer:

Anders Celsius (Swedish pronunciation: [ˌanːdəʂ ˈsɛlːsiɵs], 27 November 1701 – 25 April 1744) was a Swedish astronomer, physicist and mathematician. He was professor of astronomy at Uppsala University from 1730 to 1744, but traveled from 1732 to 1735 visiting notable observatories in Germany, Italy and France. He founded the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory in 1741, and in 1742 proposed (an inverted form of) the Centigrade temperature scale which was later renamed Celsius in his honor.
