What is the freezing point of water in celsius?

The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius.

This is the exact temperature where liquid water starts turning into solid ice. Here in India, and in most parts of the world, we use the Celsius scale for everything, so this is a very fundamental number for us. You see, the Celsius scale was basically designed around this principle: 0°C for freezing and 100°C for boiling, both at standard atmospheric pressure.

Do keep in mind, this is for pure water. If you add things like salt to it, the freezing point actually drops below zero. It’s the simple reason our freezer compartments at home are always set to a much colder temperature than 0°C
