Detailed explanation-1: -In the metric unit, the temperature is measured in degrees Celsius ( °C ). The Celsius scale is also called the centigrade scale since it’s divided into 100 degrees.
Detailed explanation-2: -Degrees are used for angular measurement because they are more familiar than radians. Temperature doesn’t require degrees, however degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit are familiar to people.
Detailed explanation-3: -Common scales of temperature measured in degrees: Celsius (°C) Fahrenheit (°F) Rankine (°R or °Ra), which uses the Fahrenheit scale, adjusted so that 0 degrees Rankine is equal to absolute zero.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most scientists measure temperature using the Celsius scale and thermodynamic temperature using the Kelvin scale, which is the Celsius scale offset so that its null point is 0 K = −273.15 °C, or absolute zero.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Fahrenheit scale (/ˈfærənˌhaɪt, ˈfɑːr-/) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736). It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) as the unit.
