The term is relative to the thermometer being used. On the Celsius or Centigrade scale, 1 degree is 1/100th of the range of temperature that water goes through from freezing to boiling; that is, water freezes at 0 degrees C and boils at 100 degrees, a difference of 100 degrees.
The Fahrenheit scale, on the other hand, has water freezing at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. Since there is a difference of 180 degrees there, a Fahrenheit degree is much smaller than a Celsius degree. (And don't get me started on Kelvin!)
