Temperature is not called Fahrenheit or Celsius; temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
The names Fahrenheit and Celsius are derived from the creators of the temperature scales: Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius.

Metric temperature scale with 100 as the boiling point of water?
The Celsius temperature scale. ( also called Centigrade )
Which scale boils the water to 100 degrees?
If you mean the temperature of boiling water then Celsius or Centigrade scale
What does centigrade mean?
Kelvin is an SI unit and not a degree of temperature. Celsius is a degree of Kelvin. Kelvin's scale begins at absolute 0. Celsius is scaled equally to Kelvin (1 degree celsius= 1 Kelvin) but begins at 273 K which is when water freezes (0 degrees Celsius).
Most nations use what scale of temperature?
The Celsius scale, which was known as the centigrade scale.
What is the opposite of Celsius?
It is an international metric temperature scale on which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under normal atmospheric conditions. The term "Celsius" is usually preferred to "centigrade," especially in technical contexts. Until 1948 the scale was known as centigrade when it was renamed in honour of Celsius, though in general usage (for example television weather forecasts) it was still called centigrade until quite recently. Celsius refers to Anders Celsius, the Swedish Astronomer who developed the temperature scale with 100 degrees at the freezing point of pure water (actually its triple point) at normal pressure and 0 degrees at its boiling point. On his death in 1744 Linneaus reversed the scale.
Why Celsius scale is also called centigrade scale?
temperature
Which temperature scale labels the freezing point of water at 0 degrees?
Centigrade degrees or the "Celsius" scale.
What is the scale that water boil at 100 and freezes at 0 is called?
Centigrade or Celsius Temperature Scale
What is another name for Celsius scale?
The Celsius scale is also known as the Centigrade scale.
What does Celsius scale mean?
Centigrade
Metric temperature scale with 100 as the boiling point of water?
The Celsius temperature scale. ( also called Centigrade )
What is centigrade and Celsius?
Centigrade earns the temperature scale is scaled from zero to one hundred. Celsius is the inventor of this scale. Accordingly, they are of the same meaning.
What is Celsius frezzing point?
On the Celsius, or Centigrade temperature scale, freezing is 0 (zero) degrees. On the Celsius, or Centigrade temperature scale, freezing is 0 (zero) degrees.
Which thermometer scale equals the Celsius scale?
The Celsius scale, of course. Though it is also known as the centigrade scale.
Which scale boils the water to 100 degrees?
If you mean the temperature of boiling water then Celsius or Centigrade scale
What is 17c in Celsius's?
It is 17 degrees Celsius. Celsius and Centigrade are the same scale.
Who discover Celsius?
Celsius The Celsius scale of temperature was not discovered it was an invention or construction by the Swedish inventor Anders Celsius who invented a similar scale which was called centigrade. The scale degrees Celsius is named in his honour.
