There are several scales used.
Celsius, or centigrade, is the most common, being associated with the SI system of measurement. But the actual official scale is Kelvin, essentially the Celsius scale shifted to begin at absolute zero rather than the freezing point of water.
In the English system, still used in the US, the scales are the Fahrenheit scale and the Rankine scale (Fahrenheit shifted to start at absolute zero). Both Celsius and Fahrenheit use the term "degrees" as their intervals, but they are, confusingly, not the same size, and a conversion to Celsius is necessary to use Fahrenheit values in a metric calculation.

What are different scales of thermometer?
The scale we use for temperature is "degrees" (°). There are three temperature scales that are used today. The Kelvin (K) scale is used by scientists and for astronomical temperatures. The Celsius scale (°C) is used in most of the world to measure air temperatures. In the United States, the Fahrenheit scale(°F) is used to measure temperatures at or near the surface.
