| Celsius |
When we use the word Celsius, we are talking about a system people can use when they measure temperature. In most countries of the world, people use this system called Celsius. In America, though, people use a system called Fahrenheit. When you see the letter C after a temperature, as in 22° C, the C stands for Celsius. When it is 22 degrees Celsius outside, the weather feels warm but not hot. It's a nice day to go to the park and play. When it is 22 degrees Fahrenheit, it's quite cold, maybe snowing, and you need a warm jacket. |
