Celsius and Kelvin each have 100 divisions from freezing to boiling.
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.
freezing= 0 boiling= 100
The Celsius temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling.
The Celsius Scale
According to Fahrenheit scale, freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and boiling point is 212 °F
212 - 32 = 180
The difference between the freezing and boiling points vary from substance to substance.

The Celsius 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.
Apparently to have a 100 degree scale between freezing and boiling. Fahrenheit has the freezing point at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. However, in Celsius, the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees.
The scale is based on the freezing point and the boiling point of water (at some standard pressure); between those two temperatures, the scale is divided into 100 intervals. Centi means hundred.The scale is based on the freezing point and the boiling point of water (at some standard pressure); between those two temperatures, the scale is divided into 100 intervals.

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.
