An approximate answer is that 0 degrees is the temperature at which pure ice melts, and 100 degrees is the temperature at which pure water boils - both processes at standard one atmosphere. The temperature unit is one hundredth of that range.
A more precise, but complicated, answer involves the absolute scale (Kelvin) and the triple point of water.

What is the unit used when measuring temperature?
There are four units for temperature: Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine. The Kelvin scale is the same as the Celsius scale, just with the zero point being absolute zero. The Rankine scale is the same thing for the Fahrenheit scale. ■
What is unique about the kelvin temperature scale?
It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)
Metric units of temperature?
Celsius and kelvin
What are the units for mass what are the units for temperature?
Kilograms and Kelvin (or degrees Celsius).
What temperature scales have the same temperature degree units?
Actually they all do. They all measure temperature in units called degrees. The difference is the starting point. The Kelvin scale starts at zero (never goes into negative figures) - which is -273 Celsius or 459.4 Fahrenheit.
How are Kelvin units of temperature different from Celsius units of temperature?
The Kelvin scale is the same as the Celsius scale except that it starts at a different point - the Kevin scale is obtained by subtracting 273.15 from the Celsius scale. 0K = -273.15oC 1K = -272.15oC 273.15K = 0oC etc.
What are the Celsius units called?
Celsius, also known as centigrade, is a scale and unit of measurement for temperature.... The Celsius scale is in general use wherever the metric system of units has been adopted.
What is the unit used when measuring temperature?

What are the units of a kelvin scale Fahrenheit scale and celsius scale?
The units, in this case, are kelvin, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Celsius.
What are 2 SI units for temperature?
* kelvin * Celsius both temperature scale have the same gradations but differ in end-point of reference.
What is the unit of temperature in the British system and how does it compare in magnitude with metric units?
The British use the centigrade scale, which is basically another name for the Celsius scale.
What is unique about the kelvin temperature scale?
It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)
What si unit you use to mesure temperature of an object?
The basic unit is Kelvin but you are more likely to use a Celsius degree. The measurement unit is the same but, whereas the Kelvin scale is absolute (it has a meaningful 0 point), the 0 on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.
Are a kilogram millimeter meter centigram and celsius all measure of mass?
Nope - only kilogram and centigram are. Millimetre & metre are units of length and celsius is a temperature scale !
What are the metric units for temperature?
It is Celsius
What are degrees in temperature?
The units of measure in temperature. (Fahrenheit ; Celsius)
How do the units of the Celsius temperature scale compare to those of the Kelvin scale?
1 degree on Celsius scale equals 1 degree on Kelvin scale. But both scales have different fixed points. Celsius scale zero point is the freezing point of the water. Kelvin scale zero point is absolute zero. The offset between scales is 273.15 degrees that makes 0 degrees Celsius equal 273.15 Kelvin and 0 Kevin equal -273.15 degrees Celsius
