Newton to Celsius Converter
Convert Newton to Celsius effortlessly with our free temperature converter. Perfect for understanding historical scientific texts, interpreting early temperature measurements, and translating Isaac Newton's temperature scale to modern units.
Why Convert Newton to Celsius?
Isaac Newton's temperature scale appears in early scientific literature and historical texts from the early 1700s. To understand temperatures recorded in Newton's original works or in contemporary documents that referenced his scale, conversion to Celsius is necessary. This helps historians of science and anyone researching early thermometry.
How the Conversion Works
The conversion from Newton to Celsius multiplies by 100/33 (approximately 3.0303): °C = °N × 3.0303. Both scales set 0° at freezing water, but Newton set boiling water at 33° while Celsius uses 100°. The ratio 100/33 directly converts between these scales.
When to Use This Converter
Use this Newton to Celsius converter when reading Isaac Newton's original scientific writings, researching early 18th-century temperature measurements, studying the history of thermometry, understanding references in historical scientific documents, or teaching about the development of temperature scales.
