How to Convert Celsius to Degrees Newton

To convert Celsius to degrees Newton, multiply by 33/100. The Newton scale is a linear transformation of Celsius with the same zero point (freezing water) but a different boiling point (33 instead of 100).

Conversion Formula

  • Celsius to Newton: °N = °C × 33/100
  • Newton to Celsius: °C = °N × 100/33

FAQ

What is the Newton temperature scale?

The Newton scale was devised by Isaac Newton around 1700. It sets the freezing point of water at 0 °N and the boiling point at 33 °N.

How do you convert Celsius to degrees Newton?

Multiply the Celsius value by 33/100. For example, 37 °C × 33/100 = 12.21 °N.

Is the Newton temperature scale still used?

No. The Newton scale is historically significant but has been entirely superseded by Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin in modern use.

What is body temperature in degrees Newton?

Normal body temperature (37 °C) equals approximately 12.21 °N.

Why does the Newton scale go to 33?

Newton chose 33 degrees for the boiling point of water. The exact reasoning is debated, but it may relate to his experimental setup or a desire for a simple ratio with his linseed oil thermometer.
