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.
