Mr Fahrenheit decided the world needed a temperature scale that went from the lowest temperature generally experienced, (which he called "0") to about blood temperature which he called (with a small error) "100". On that scale the boiling point of water turns out to be 212 degrees. Mr Celsius decide that making the freezing point of water 0, and boiling point of water 100 would be better. There are other temperature scales too.

A degree Celsius, although it has the same name, is equal to 1.8 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. You can see that for the freezing and boiling points of water, there are 100 Celsius degrees (100-0) between the two temperatures, while there are 180 (212-32) of the smaller fahrenheit degrees.
100 degrees F is equivalent to 37.78 degrees C
It's just another temperature scale, it corresponds to about the same as 100 degree Fahrenheit = normal body temperature.
1 Degree of Celsius is larger. The number of degrees Fahrenheit between Water freezing (32) and boiling(212) is 180 degrees. The number of degrees Celsius is 100 degrees. So the Celsius degree has more value.
100 degrees Fahrenheit = 37.78 degrees Celsius
