There are 100 intervals (degrees) between the freezing and boiling points of water on the Celsius (centigrade) scale. These "degrees" are therefore 1.8 times as large an interval as the "degree" defined on the Fahrenheit scale.
Celsius and Kelvin each have 100 divisions from freezing to boiling.
The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions or degrees
the celsius absolute scale is called what?
No. Celsius "degrees" are larger than Fahrenheit "degrees", and so represent a larger change in temperature. One Celsius "degree" is equal to 1.8 Fahrenheit "degrees". The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions (degrees) between 32° and 212° - the freezing and boiling points of water. The Celsius scale has only 100 divisions (degrees) between 0° and 100° - the freezing and boiling points of water. So the Celsius degrees are "larger" degrees, and a change in temperature in Celsius will be 1.8 times as large on the Fahrenheit scale. That is where the 5/9 and 9/5 fractions come in on the conversion formulas. (see related question)

The semantic differential disadvantages are a shortage of standardization, and the amount of divisions on the scale is a major issue. If the divisions are too few the scale is inaccurate and if the divisions are too many the scale goes beyond and discriminates.
Many scientific measurements are done according to the Celsius scale.
The Kelvin and Celsius scales are both ways of measuring temperature. On the Celsius scale, zero degrees is actually 273.15 degrees Kelvin.
Swedish scientist Anders Celsius neither invented nor improved the thermometer. What he did, in 1742, was to propose a thermomenter scale with 100 divisions between water's boiling point and its freezing point. The scale developed by Celsius was actually the reverse of the scale we use today. He placed 0 at water's boiling point and 100 at its freezing point. So the Celsius temperature scale was not actually his "invention"; it is simply named in his honor.
The Kelvin scale is basically the Celsius scale +273. To convert any Celsius measurement to Kelvin, you simply add 273. 30 degrees Celsius = 303 degrees Kelvin.
The Celsius scale was invented in 1742 by Anders Celsius.
