Celsius is the inventor of this scale, so it is correct.

Centigrade is referring to the method of calculation.

I guess some people hear "centigrade" often, so they use it.

Hope this helped!

It depends if you are looking at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade. Fahrenheit = Cold Centigrade = Warm


What is the temperature measurement centigrade and why is the answer so difficult to find?

Centigrade is a temperature scale where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees. The term isn't commonly used anymore; instead, most places use Celsius. The answer may be difficult to find because some resources might still refer to it as centigrade or due to variations in terminology across different regions.


What is Celsius used for?

The Celsius (or Centigrade) scale is the predominant scale used to measure temperature worldwide. The United States is one of only a few countries where the Fahrenheit scale remains more common. A third scale, Kelvin, is used in some specialist applications, such as by physicists.

It depends on personal preference and what you are used to. Some people may find 17 degrees Celsius to be warm, while others may find it to be cool. It is considered mild or pleasant weather for many.


Is it 50 centigrade in Africa?

It is unlikely that the temperature in Africa is 50 degrees Celsius, as temperatures in most parts of Africa typically range between 20-40 degrees Celsius. However, some regions like deserts can experience extremely high temperatures occasionally.


Is 56 degrees warm?

No, it's on the cool side. Moderate is around 70. The higher the number, the warmer it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It really depends upon which scale of temperature you are using. On the Centigrade/Celsius scale 56 degrees is a reasonably comfortable temperature, though 60 degrees would be better. However, if you are using the Fahrenheit scale the 56 degrees would be equivalent to 13.33333(recurring) Centigrade, a much colder temperature.


Do the United Kingdom use Fahrenheit or celsius?

What is the reason you have the celsius and Fahrenheit scale?

Both scales were developed in the early 18th Century. The Fahrenheit scale was proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit. The freezing point of brine set the 0 point. 180 degrees separated the freezing point of water (32 degrees) from the boiling point (212 deg). Anders Celsius introduced the Centigrade scale in which the freezing point was 0 deg and the boiling point was 100 degrees. Centigrade was later renamed Celsius. The Celsius scale is the international standard, used by most countries and scientific communities in all countries. There are some countries, however, that have not fully adopted the Celsius scale, so the Fahrenheit scale remains in use today.
