There are many different occasions when a person would want to measure the temperature using the metric system. For example, if a friend from the UK wanted to know the temperature at one's house in Wisconsin, it would be polite to convert the temperature to Celsius so that it makes sense to one's friend.

What scale do they use in the metric system to measure temperature?
Celsius.
Is Celsius English or Metric measure?
The centigrade temperature scale in the Metric system was renamed in honour of Charles Celsius.
What do you use to measure speed in the metric system?
You use exactly the same instruments to measure speed in the metric system as you use in any other system. For example, a speedometer, or a distance measuring device and a stopwatch. The difference is that these devices are calibrated in metric units, instead of old-fashioned units.
What is a system of measurement based on ten?
Matter is defined as that which has mass and occupies space. There are procedures to measure both. Even if you can't measure the mass of an object directly (such as a gas), you can still determine it's mass by measuring the space it occupies. Pressure is one way to measure the mass of gas by the amount of space it occupies.
What is the measurement used in the metric system to measure temperature?
Temperature is measured in °C (degrees Celsius), or for scientific work in 'K' K = °C + 273.15
What scale do they use in the metric system to measure temperature?
Celsius.

What is an example of an English measurement that is NOT used in the Metric system?
An inch is such a measure.
What are the similarities of the standard and metric measurements?
Please note that the metric system is the world-wide standard. If by "standard" you mean the Imperial system (the system commonly used in the USA), the similarities are that the systems are designed to measure, and that they both have units to measure the same type of thing, for example length/distance, area, volume, temperature, etc.
When measuring temperature in the metric system the unit is the?
measuring temperature the metric system of °C is used.
What system is most often used in science to measure temperature?
The metric system, in which degrees Centigrade (also called Celcius) is used.

What thermometer is based on the metric system?
That depends on what units the thermometer is calibrated in. The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but degrees Celsius commonly used, if the thermometer reads in kelvin or degrees Celsius then it is a metric tool.
How can the metric system be used?
To measure.
When should you use the metric system in biology?
You should use the metric system every time you need to measure something, whether it's length, weight, temperature, or any other measurement you need to take.
