Zero Celsius is the coldest temperature?
No zero celsius is the freezing point of water as 100 degrees is its boiling point
Why is centigrade scale a good name for the celsius scale?
The scale is based on the freezing point and the boiling point of water (at some standard pressure); between those two temperatures, the scale is divided into 100 intervals. Centi means hundred.The scale is based on the freezing point and the boiling point of water (at some standard pressure); between those two temperatures, the scale is divided into 100 intervals.

What is the customary measure unit of temperature?
In most of science it is the Celsius degree. There are 100 of these degrees between the freezing point and boiling point of water at standard pressure (sea level). The other common or customary unit is the Fahrenheit degree. There are 212 of these degrees between the freezing and boiling points of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure.
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.

How did the formula of degree celsius was drived?
Celsius called the freezing point of water 0 and the boiling point 100, then divided the scale into 100 equal parts to represent 1 degree change in temperature
