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.
Many engineering fields in the U.S., especially high-tech ones, also use the kelvin and degrees Celsius scales. However, the United States is the last major country in which the degree Fahrenheit temperature scale is used by most lay people, industry, popular meteorology, and government.
