Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.
On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. On the Celsius scale (centigrade), water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. The Kelvin scale uses the same scale as Celsius degrees, but is offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K.
The rarely-used Rankine scale is also based at Absolute Zero, but uses Fahrenheit degree intervals.
