What is the opposite of Celsius?

Answer 1

It is an international metric temperature scale on which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under normal atmospheric conditions. The term "Celsius" is usually preferred to "centigrade," especially in technical contexts. Until 1948 the scale was known as centigrade when it was renamed in honour of Celsius, though in general usage (for example television weather forecasts) it was still called centigrade until quite recently.

Celsius refers to Anders Celsius, the Swedish Astronomer who developed the temperature scale with 100 degrees at the freezing point of pure water (actually its triple point) at normal pressure and 0 degrees at its boiling point. On his death in 1744 Linneaus reversed the scale.
