First of all, the term "superheated" generally refers to a vapor. This explanation refers to superheated vapor only.
Superheat is the difference (in degrees of temperature) between a liquid's boiling point and the superheated vapor's actual temperature.
For example; at sea level, the boiling point of water is 212ºF. As long as the temperature is 212ºF, you will have both liquid and vapor present. If you continue to add heat to the liquid/vapor mix, all the liquid will eventually become vapor. Additional heat added after no liquid remains will begin to increase the temperature above 212ºF. This resulting vapor is superheated.
If you measure the temperature of water vapor to be 220ºF at 1 ATM, the vapor is superheated by 8ºF.
The same analysis is true for any liquid/vapor, at any pressure and for any other temperature scale. i.e. R22 refrigerant is "saturated" (meaning both liquid and vapor are present) at 32ºF and 58PSIG. If you measure the pressure of R22 at 58PSIG but measure the temperature at 45ºF, you have measured 13 degrees of superheat.
I hope this answer is useful to you.

Degree of superheat is the difference between the superheated temperature and the saturated temperature of the steam .
Super heated generally refers to vapor. Super heated gas usually contains about 10 degrees of super heat in the gas.

I'm afraid you've muddled heat and temperature, for a start. A fluid cannot "contain" a number of degrees, but may be at that number of them. This is because degrees measure temperature, the intensity of heat, which is a form of energy hence measured in Joules.
A superheated vapour is one whose temperature has been raised above the evaporation temperature at the pressure at which the liquid evaporated. The "usually" phrase is meaningless: superheating can raise the vapour's temperature by far more than a mere 10º - whether Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees!
For example : if you want to product high steam pressure with temperature 310 C. but the real temperature is 320 C, so must be decreas less than 310 C by a device which name superheater.
there are many ways to decreas the Temp. For example make the steam through water which it Temp. 120 C to make heat exchange with steam before the water go inside boilers.
I hope that a correct answer and simple.

If you meant to type ACS degree; then it means an American Chemical Society certified chemistry degree plan.

I am going to assume that you meant planet, and the answer is all of them. Everything in the Universe has gravity to some degree.
IONIZATION:-The splitting up of a substance in to a negative and positive ions in it's aqueous solution or in fused form is known as ionization.DEGREE OF IONIZATION:-The extent to which an electrolysis can ionize in water is called it's degree of ionization.Degree of ionization of CH3COOH = 4/1000
If you meant the degree difference, it is a 30 degree latitude difference between 30 degrees north latitude and 0 degrees longitude.If you meant the difference in features:0 degrees latitude is longer than 30 degrees north latitude.30 degrees north latitude is located in the northern hemisphere while 0 degrees latitude is located in the middle of the northern and southern hemispheres.
We require to superheat the refrigerant to ensure that no liquid enters in the compressor.So in most of the cases degree of superheat is kept 2 to 3 deg c
About 10 degrees
theoritically degree of supermheat increase but practically no change in temperature.

Undercharge can cause HIGH superheat. Overcharge can cause LOW superheat. You need some superheat when charged correctly. How much is needed is depending on outdoor air temperature and indoor wet-bulb temperature.
excess superheat in a capillary tube systems means that there is ______ charge
The right temperature to superheat and sub cool a substance varies greatly. Water for example takes temperatures above 212 degrees to superheat and temperatures below 32 degrees to sub cool.
Superheat depends on the type of metering device you are using in the equipment as well as the current state of the load. With a fixed orifice, the superheat will be high, about 20 to 30 degrees when the box is warm, down around 10-15 when the box is cold. With a txv, the superheat should be constant, normally between 10-15 degrees. It is best to check the superheat at the outlet of the evaporator. this will ensure that the compressor does not slug with liquid refrigerant.
If you meant to type ACS degree; then it means an American Chemical Society certified chemistry degree plan.
It means "third degree". The sequence is primary (first degree), secondary (second degree), and then tertiary.
To heat to excess; to superheat.
