Historical reasons. Actually, there were yet other scales, especially Reaumur; fortunately, it disappeared.
Unfortunately, some countries still use Fahrenheit; it will take a while until they adopt the international standard. The scale that should be used nowadays is Centigrade; or (for scientific work) Kelvin.

Which temperature scales have units of equal size?
Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same unit, but they start at different temperatures. 0 Celsius is the freezing pt of water, but 0 Kelvin is absolute zero (the coldest temperature possible)
How are the minor scales different?
Minor scales have flats and major scales have sharps.
What are the Two formulas of temperature conversion between those three scales?

What temperature degree celsius and kelvin are same?
The 'kelvin' and the celsius 'degree' are identical temperature intervals ... they are the same size. The marks on the kelvin thermometer and the marks on the celsius thermometer are the same distance apart. Both scales have 100 divisions between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water, but the scales start at different places. (Kelvin starts at 'absolute zero', celsius starts at the freezing temperature of water.) The graphs of these two scales are parallel lines. The graphs never intersect, meaning that there is no temperature where kelvin and celsius are the same number.
What are the names of the 3 temperature scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Who devolped the three temperature scales?
me
What is the units of temperature?
Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit are common temperature scales. Celsius and Fahrenheit are measured in degrees.
Temperature is measured in what three scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
What are three types of temperature scales?
Fahrenheit, centigrade, kelvin.
What are some different scales of temperature?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin
Is kelvin and Fahrenheit the same?
No, they're completely different temperature scales.
Does the temperature of a body depend on the frame from which it is observed?
yes. Because same body is at different temperatures when we use different scales of temperature.
What are three scales commonly used for temperature?
Dergree's centegrade Fahrenhight Degrees Kelven
What are three different types of scales?
Balance, spring, inertial.
What do -40 Celsius and -40 Fahrenheit have in common?
0
Where will the three scales of temperature meet?
The scales of temperature cannot all meet, as the Kelvin and Celsius scales have the same size degrees but different zero points. Absolute Zero is 0° Kelvin, and equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F. Because the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are offset by 32° at their starting points (freezing point of water), the two scales do have a common numerical point at -40° (minus 40 degrees). (see related question)
Are Celsius and Fahrenheit two different temperature scales?
Yes, that's right! They are.
