Negative numbers

We use the - (minus) sign to describe
temperatures colder than 0 °C, e.g.
\latex{ - }4 °C (minus 4 degrees Celsius).
Annie heard this on the radio: Today the
temperature will be \latex{ - }2 °C (minus two
degrees Celsius). This is what the
thermometer showed:
We can measure the temperature of
materials, objects or living things with
a thermometer. The unit we use to
measure temperature is the degree
Celsius; its symbol is °C.
