What is a temperature scale with 100 between the freezing and boiling of water?
That's both the "Celsius" and the "Kelvin" scales.
Is the degrees of a celsius scale are larger than degrees on the Fahrenheit scale?
Celsius degrees are larger than Fahrenheit degrees, by a factor of 9/5 = 1.8. It only takes 100 degC to span the temperature difference between freezing and boiling water, while it takes 212 - 32 = 180 degF to span the same temperature difference.
Who was Celsius?
Anders Celsius (1701-1744) was a Swedish Astronomer who in 1742 created the Celsius temperature scale that uses 100 as the freezing point of water and 0 as the boiling point of water. After his death the scale was reversed to its modern day use of 0 as the freezing point and 100 as the boiling point. The United States uses the Fahrenheit scale created by Gabrial Fahrenheit where 32 degrees is freezing and 212 degrees is boiling.Anders Celsius was an 18th century Swedish astronomer.

Why do scientists use the Kelvin and Celsius scale rather than the Fahrenheit scale?
Celsius is a very accurate measurement between the freezing and boiling points of water. 0 being freezing, and 100 boiling. Kelvin is the measurement of absolute zero, where particles stop moving altogether. Kelvin has the same conversion rating, only 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celsius. The Kelvin scale is an absolute scale. This means that 2 K is twice as hot as 1 K and so on. Neither the Celsius nor the Fahrenheit scales do that. The Centigrade (or Celsius scale are based on the freezing and boiling points of water (at normal pressure), the Fahrenheit scale was not: the 0 was the lowest temperature attained by ice and salt.
At what Celsius Temperature does water boil?
Answer:100 degrees Celsius at standard pressure.At 1 atmosphere of pressure (that is: average pressure at sea level), pure water (that is: distilled water) boils at 100º Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit.However, this is not a coincidence; the celsius scale was originally defined around the boiling (100oC) and freezing point (0oC) of water, and hence the scale was defined by water's boiling point and defined by water's freezing point and divided in 100 equal parts (= 1.0 oC).
What is a temperature scale were freezing is 32and boiling is 112?
There isn't any but if you mean freezing of 32 degrees and boiling of 212 degrees then it is the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
On the celsius temperature scale how many degrees are between freezing and the boiling point of water?
Freezing = 0 Boiling = 100
How many degrees between freezing point and boiling point on the celsius temperature scale?
freezing= 0 boiling= 100
Which temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling?
The Celsius temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling.
What is the boiling and freezing point of the Fahrenheit scale?
Of water, 212 and 32 degrees, respectively.
What is the temperature scale with the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees?
Fahrenheit
What is the Celsius temperaure scale?
The Celsius temperature scale is referenced to the water's freezing temperature (0 degrees) and the water's boiling temperature (100 degrees at sea level).
The Fahrenheit temperature scale is defined by what temperature?
The freezing and boiling points of water: 32 and 212 degrees, respectively.
How many Fahrenheits are in a degree?
You are mixing apples and oranges. A degree is a unit of measure. How big the unit is depends upon the scale. Fahreheit is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 180 degrees between boiling and freezing temperature of water. Celsius is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 100 degrees between boiling and freezing termperature of water.
The Fahrenheit temperature scale is defined by what temperatures?
The freezing and boiling points of water: 32 and 212 degrees, respectively.
What is a temperature scale in which 32 degrees F is the freezing point of water and 212F is the boiling point of water called?
The temperature scale in which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils (vaporizes) at 212 degrees is the Fahrenheit scale. It is based on a scale that Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724.
What is the boiling point and the freezing point on the Celsius scale?
Boiling Point: 100 degrees celsius Freezing Point: 0 degrees celsius
