Celsius and Kelvin each have 100 divisions from freezing to boiling.
The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions or degrees
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.
The Celsius scale is divided into 100 equal parts between the freezing and boiling points of water.
There are 100 degrees Celsius between the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) on the Celsius temperature scale.
The Celsius temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling.
The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions or degrees
There are 180 divisions between the freezing point (32°F) and the boiling point (212°F) of water on the Fahrenheit scale.
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.
The Celsius scale is divided into 100 equal parts between the freezing and boiling points of water.
The difference between the freezing and boiling points vary from substance to substance.
The Fahrenheit scale is defined by setting the freezing point of pure water at 32 degrees and the boiling point of pure water at 212 degrees, with 180 equal divisions (degrees) between these two points.
Freezing = 0 Boiling = 100
There are 100 degrees Celsius between the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) on the Celsius temperature scale.
The Celsius temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling.
The Celsius Scale
The Fahrenheit scale was created before the Celsius scale, based on the freezing and boiling points of water. With the freezing point at 32°F and boiling point at 212°F, the scale was set to have 180 equally spaced intervals between freezing and boiling points. This set the boiling point of water at 212°F on the Fahrenheit scale.
On the Celsius scale, the freezing point is 0°C and the boiling point 100°C. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point is 32°F and the boiling point 212°F.
