What are Celsius and TriplePointOfWater

Definition of Celsius

Celsius, also known as centigrade, is a temperature scale where 0 degrees represents the freezing point of water and 100 degrees its boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. Named after the astronomer Anders Celsius, it's a widely used scale globally, especially in scientific contexts, and is part of the metric system.

Definition of TriplePointOfWater

The Triple Point of Water is a thermodynamic state where water coexists in its three phases: solid, liquid, and gas. This occurs at a specific temperature and pressure, precisely 0.01 degrees Celsius (273.16 Kelvin) and 611.657 pascals. It's a fundamental reference point in the International System of Units (SI) for temperature measurements.
