Celsius (known until 1948 as centigrade) is a temperature scale that is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius(1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death.
A scientist might measure body temperature in Fahrenheit, especially in the United States, where this scale is commonly used in clinical settings. However, in many other countries, Celsius is the preferred unit for temperature measurement. The choice of scale often depends on regional practices and the preferences of the healthcare provider. Ultimately, both Fahrenheit and Celsius can effectively convey body temperature, but the unit used may vary.
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
Named after Anders Celsius, a Swedish scientist, who developed a temperature scale from which the one in use now evolved.

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736).
Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, developed the Celsius temperature scale in 1742.
The capital "C" in Celsius is used to honor the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius who developed the temperature scale. It helps differentiate between the Celsius temperature scale and the unrelated temperature scale, Fahrenheit.

The temperature scale is Fahrenheit, named for scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
Anders Celsius developed a scale for temperature measurement in 1742 that used the freezing and boiling points of water as its basis. This became know as both the Centigrade Scale and the Celsius Scale.
