Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the Celsius temperature scale is defined based on the properties of water, where 0°C is the freezing point and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
Recall that the freezing point of water is the temperature at which liquid water turns into solid ice under normal atmospheric conditions.
Identify that on the Celsius scale, this temperature is set as 0 degrees Celsius.
Note that -273°C corresponds to absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, and 32°F is the freezing point of water on the Fahrenheit scale, not Celsius.
Therefore, the freezing point of water on the Celsius scale is 0°C.
