The degree Celsius is used to measure temperature. It is named after the Swedish astronomer, Andres Celsius, who devised the Celsius scale in 1742.

Originally called centigrade, two reference temperature are used:

  1. The freezing point of water (0 degree Celsius); and
  2. The boiling point of water (100 degree Celsius).

A metric thermometer used to measure temperature is divided in intervals between the freezing and boiling points.

Degree Celsius can be transformed into degree Fahrenheit(named after a German instrument maker, Gabriel Fahrenheit), the English equivalent of Celsius.
