There is a temperature scale called Celsius. On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0o and the boiling point of water is 100o (in comparison to the Fahrenheit scale, in which water freezes at 32o and boils at 212o). Also note: the Celsius scale is sometimes called the Centigrade scale, although Celsius is the correct term.
