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.

How did Anders Celsius invent the Celsius thermometer?

He used the "degree" as the unit of temperature. He based his standards for comparison on the properties of water, the most abundant liquid on Earth. Celsius assigned zero degrees to the temperature at which ice melts at sea level. He assigned a value of one hundred degrees to the temperature at which liquid water boils at sea level. Then he separated the region between these temperatures into 100 evenly spaced units or degrees.
