Degree (temperature)

A degree is a unit of measurement used to quantify temperature. There are several different scales for measuring temperature, each with its own degrees: 1. **Celsius (°C)**: The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 100 degrees, under standard atmospheric conditions. 2. **Fahrenheit (°F)**: In the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.
