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.
Well, possibly, but the true difference is that the two countries use different temperature scales. The United States favors the Fahrenheit scale, in which 37Â° is wintry. Canadians, and most of the world, use the Celsius scale, in which 37Â° is equivalent to 98.6Â° Fahrenheitâbody temperature! Scientists usually use Celsius, in which 0 is water's freezing point (32Â°F) and 100 is its boiling point (212Â°F). (To convert between scales, see the table of measurements at the entry for measurement.) Scientists also use the Kelvin scale, where 0 is as cold as anything could ever get, which is about -273Â° Celsius.
