Newton to Celsius

Newton scale to Celsius

The Newton temperature scale was defined by Isaac Newton in 1701 setting as 0 on this scale "the heat of air in winter at which water begins to freeze", or in other words, 0 as in Celsius scale, and the value 33 for "heat at which water begins to boil", so around 100 ℃, being exactly 100 the value commonly used for conversions between both scales. The Newton is represented as °N after the value.

The Celsius or centigrade temperature scale is based on the water tristate, placing the 0 at the point when the liquid water becomes ice, and the 100 at the point when the liquid water becomes gas, both at 1 atm pressure. Its unit is represented with ℃ after the value.

The Celsius scale degree values are calculated based on the formula $$Newton × {100 \over 33}$$
