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.
What is a temperature scale with 100 between the freezing and boiling of water?
That's both the "Celsius" and the "Kelvin" scales.
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.

Who is the divisor of centigrade thermomoter?
The divisor of a centigrade thermometer is the scale used to measure temperature, which is based on the Celsius scale. In this scale, the freezing point of water is marked as 0 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point is marked as 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. The thermometer divides the temperature range between these two points into 100 equal intervals or degrees. Each degree represents a change in temperature of one centigrade unit.
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.
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.
What scale gives water a freezing temperature of 32 F and a boiling temperature of 212 F?
The Fahrenheit scale gives water a freezing temperature of 32 degrees F and a boiling temperature of 212 degrees F.
Which temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling?
The Celsius temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling.
How many degrees between freezing point and boiling point on the celsius temperature scale?
There are 100 degrees Celsius between the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) on the Celsius temperature scale.
On the celsius temperature scale how many degrees are between freezing and the boiling point of water?
Freezing = 0 Boiling = 100
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 temperatures?
The freezing and boiling points of water: 32 and 212 degrees, respectively.
Why was Celsius invented?
Apparently to have a 100 degree scale between freezing and boiling. Fahrenheit has the freezing point at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. However, in Celsius, the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees.
What is the degree of hotness or coldness measured on a scale?
The degree of hotness or coldness is measured on a scale called the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale. This scale quantifies temperature using degrees, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point of water and 100 degrees representing the boiling point of water on the Celsius scale. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees.
The Fahrenheit temperature scale is defined by what temperature?
The freezing and boiling points of water: 32 and 212 degrees, respectively.
