The expression "degrees Celsius" is a temperature, such as 10 °C that represents the coolness or warmth of a physical object, body, or gas.
The expression "Celsius degrees" refers to an interval between two measured temperatures. There are 100 Celsius degrees between water's freezing temperature 0°C and its boiling temperature 100°C.
So while the first indicates a specific measurement, the second indicates a difference between temperatures, a corresponding gain or loss of heat energy.
Celsius and Fahrenheit "degrees"
Note that Celsius "degrees" are not the same size as Fahrenheit "degrees" : the two scales use the same term to represent very different intervals. Each "degree" on the Celsius scale is 1.8 times as large as a "degree" interval in Fahrenheit. There are 180 Fahrenheit degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water (32°F and 212°F).

"Fahrenheit degrees" refer to the unit of measurement in the Fahrenheit temperature scale, while "degrees Fahrenheit" is the proper way to express a temperature measurement in Fahrenheit. They essentially mean the same thing, with the latter being the correct phrasing for stating a specific temperature in the Fahrenheit scale.
degrees Fahrenheit is an absolute temperature, but Fahrenheit degrees are relative quantities, refering to differences or changes. For example:
The ice water was 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but after sitting on the counter in the sunlight its temperature rose 50 Fahrenheit degrees, becoming 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lightning is actually hotter, it can reach temperatures of roughly 30,000 kelvins (53,540 degrees Fahrenheit). The sun, on the other hand, is eclipsed in this case -- its surface temperature is just 6,000 kelvins (10,340 degrees Fahrenheit).
The average year to date temperature in the USA is 78.2 degrees. The normal temperature for July is in the mid to upper 80's and lower 90's.
They are 180 degrees apart."90 degrees north latitude" is the location of the north pole. "90 degrees southlatitude" is the location of the south pole. You cannot find two points on the Earth'ssurface that are farther apart.(I know, I know, equatorial vs polar radius and all that. Let it be.)How is 90 north latitube different 90 south latitube
