Scientists use Celsius scales because....
1. it was developed specifically for scientific use
2. the metric system is used in measurements by the power of 10, making calculations much more simplistic than the American system of inches, feet, lbs, gallons, etc.

∙ 11y agoBecause it's easier to use, metric (ie. based on powers of 10) and based on less arbitrary standards than the Fahrenheit scale. Celsius simply takes the freezing point of water at sea level as its zero-point, and defines the boiling point of water at sea level as being a 100 degrees.
Celsius was adopted as the scientific standard by the international community. Also, many formulas and calculations are based upon using temperature with a unit of degrees Celsius. Most countries (except the USA, where the word 'metric' is a swearing word) nowadays use the Celsius scale.

What is the tempratue scale scientist use?
The SI unit is the Kelvin, but we use Celsius a lot too.
Do scientist use Fahrenheit or celsius?
Celsius
What type of thermometer is used by a scientist?
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
How do you use Celsius in a sentence?
Zero degrees on the Celsius scale equals thirty two degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
Are Celsius temperatures the same as centigrade temperatures?
I'm pretty sure they areAnswer: Yes, Celsius and Centigrade are the same temperature scale. It's just a lucky coincidence that they both start with "c". The scientist responsible for this scale was Celsius. He named the scale centigrade because there are 100 (centi-) degrees (grades) from freezing to boiling. Later on, it was decided to use his name for the scale, just as Fahrenheit and Kelvin are so honored.
Why do scientist use the Fahrenheit scale?
Most scientist now use the Celsius scale.
Why Scientist use the celsius scale?
It has the same magnitude as kelvin.
What is the tempratue scale scientist use?
The SI unit is the Kelvin, but we use Celsius a lot too.
How do you spell cellceus?
The temperature scale is Celsius, named for scientist Anders Celsius.
Why this word celsius is used when measuring temperature?
Named after Anders Celsius, a Swedish scientist, who developed a temperature scale from which the one in use now evolved.
What a temperature scale used by scientist?
Both Celsius and Kelvin.
When do you use a Celsius scale?
you use a celsius scale when you want to check the weather
How do you spell celcecuis?
The correct spelling of the SI temperature scale is Celsius (for scientist Anders Celsius).
Who invented Celsius?
Anders Celsius was a Swedish scientist who made the temperature scale which bears his name.
Do scientist use Fahrenheit or celsius?
Celsius
Do scientist use Celsius or Fahrenheit to measure temperature?
celsius
What are 2 scales scientist use to measure temperature and what is the official SI unit for temperature?
The scales used by scientists are Celsius (or Centigrade) and Kelvin. Both use a degree which has the same value. However, the Kelvin scale is an absolute scale which means that 10K is 10 times "warmer" than 1K. This is not true for the Celsius scale.
