The Celsius scale or Celsius degree, a temperature measurement named after Anders Celsius.
From Anders Celsius, the Swedish astronomer who developed the temperature scale in 1742. The scale was originally called centigrade but renamed Celsius in his honor.
Anders Celsius actually created his scale backwards—zero was boiling and 100 was freezing—but his student fixed it, and now billions of people use a reversed version of what Celsius originally invented.
