​Temperature is a measure of the intensity of thermal energy associated with an object or an environment.

The two most well-known temperature scales are:

The Celsius Scale

The Celsius scale, or centigrade scale, was invented by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius and is used by the International System of Units. Most of the world has adopted the Celsius scale, with the exception of the United States. In the Celsius Scale, 0 degrees Celsius represents the freezing or ice point of water and 100 degrees represents the boiling point of water. 

The Fahrenheit Scale

The Fahrenheit Scale was devised by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and is currently used primarily in the United States. The freezing point of water in the Fahrenheit scale is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees.
