The Celsius scale, of course. Though it is also known as the centigrade scale.

What equals a 100 degrees Celsius?

Who invented the thermometer?

The Greeks had simple thermometers in the first century BC. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian physicist, invented a basic air thermometer. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was the German physicist who invented the alcohol thermometer in 1709, and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In 1724, he introduced the temperature scale that bears his name - Fahrenheit Scale. The Celsius scale, invented by Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), has 100 degrees between the freezing point (0 C) and boiling point (100 C) of pure water at sea level air pressure. The Celsius temperature scale is also referred to as the "centigrade" scale. Centigrade means "consisting of or divided into 100 degrees". The term "Celsius" was adopted in 1948 by an international conference on weights and measures.


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.


Which has the larger value C or F?

A temperature change by one degree on Celsius scale equals temperature change of 1.8 degree on Fahrenheit scale or F (Fahrenheit) = 1.8 C (Celsius) + 32
