On 13 September 2012 the World Meteorological Organisation disqualified the record for the highest recorded temperature, exactly 90 years after it had been established at El Azizia, Libya, with a measurement of 58°Celsius. The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7°C (134°F), which...
Anders Celsius was an astronomer who invented the Celsius temperature scale (often called the centigrade scale). Celsius was professor of astronomy at Uppsala University from 1730 to 1744, and in 1740 he built the Uppsala Observatory. In 1733 Celsius pub
WASHINGTON, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Temperatures at tiny valleys near the top of Antarctica's ice sheet could fall to nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius, beating all previous coldest records on Earth's surface, according to a new study. Researchers found small dips or shallow hollows on the East ...
If Earth' temperature rises by 2 degrees Celsius(摄氏温度) in the next 30-some years, more than 25 per cent ofthe earth will dry up, according to a new climate study.Projections(设计) of 27 global climate models determined that 24 to 32 per cent of the world's total land surfacewould...
• Temperature can also be raised to realistic deep-Earth values, usually to several hundred degrees Celsius.• The temperature will rise to a maximum of about nine degrees Celsius, about normal for the time of year.• Rain fell, and the temperature went down to ten degrees Celsius.•...

cientists say the Earth's temperature has risen by about 1.1 degrees Celsius since the modern industrial period began. And they warn that the effects of rising temperatures will get worse with every increase of one tenth of a degree.Many scientists and government officials say that it is import...
The temperature on Mercury's surface fluctuates more widely than that on the surface of any other planet. It can vary by 649 degrees Celsius (1,168 degrees Fahrenheit). By comparison, the extremes on Earth and Mars are separated by 160 degrees Celsius (288 degrees Fahrenheit); and the tempe...
Earth’s daily global average temperature hit 17.15 degrees Celsius (62.87 degrees Fahrenheit) on Monday, setting a new record for the warmest day in the organization’s dataset, which started in 1940. MORE: Lesser-known dangers of hot cars include common items left in vehicles, expert...
