You are mixing apples and oranges. A degree is a unit of measure. How big the unit is depends upon the scale. Fahreheit is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 180 degrees between boiling and freezing temperature of water. Celsius is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 100 degrees between boiling and freezing termperature of water.
There are 100 degrees Celsius between the freezing point (0°C) and the boiling point (100°C) of water.
The ice point and steam point that you refer to are called the boiling and freezing point. Each substance has a different boiling and freezing point, though for water it is 0 degrees Celsius is freezing and 100 degrees Celsius is boiling. Or if you use Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit for freezing and 212 degrees Fahrenheit for boiling. So depending on what system of measurement you use for temperature, the number of degrees separating the boiling and freezing points of water can be 100 degrees for Celsius or 180 degrees for Fahrenheit.
Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and boiling point at 100 degrees, while Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and boiling point at 212 degrees. This creates a difference of 32 degrees between the freezing and boiling points in Fahrenheit, compared to 100 degrees in Celsius.
The halfway point between the boiling point and the freezing point of a substance is its melting point. At this temperature, the substance changes from solid to liquid or vice versa.

the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees
The halfway point between the boiling point and the freezing point of a substance is its melting point. At this temperature, the substance changes from solid to liquid or vice versa.
The Celsius scale was invented by Anders Celsius in 1742 as a way to establish a consistent temperature scale based on water's freezing and boiling points. Celsius wanted a scale where 0 degrees represented the freezing point of water and 100 degrees represented the boiling point of water at sea level.
