  "term": "Degree Celsius",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A unit of Celsius temperature, equal in size to the kelvin, with Celsius temperature defined as thermodynamic temperature in kelvin minus 273.15, so 0 degrees Celsius is 273.15 kelvin. The scale was originally fixed by the freezing and boiling points of water at 0 and 100, but under the current definition water boils at about 99.97 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.",
