Celsius used 0Â° for the boiling point of water and 100Â° for the melting point of snow. This was later inverted to put 0Â° on the cold end and 100Â° on the hot end, and in that form it gained widespread use. It was known simply as the centigrade scale until in 1948 the name was changed to the Celsius temperature scale.
Degree measures of temperature are normally expressed with the Â° symbol rather than by the written word, with a space after the number but not between the symbol and the temperature scale: The sample was heated to 80 Â°C. Unlike the abbreviations for Fahrenheit and Celsius, the abbreviation for Kelvin (which refers to an absolute scale of temperature) is not preceded by the degree symbol (i.e., 12 K is correct).
