Best Answer

Celsius was invented as a way of measuring temperature. A scientist named Anders Celsius put a thermometer in water until it froze, and marked where the Mercury level was. He then measured the level in boiling water. The temperature in boiling water was given 100 Celsius, freezing was given 0 Celsius.
