Celsius was developed Anders Celsius, and it was named after him in the 1700s. Fahrenheit, on the other hand, was developed by a physicist known as Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. When Celsius is used in measuring temperature, °C is used to denote that the temperature is measured by Celsius, the same thing is applicable to Fahrenheit when it is used in measuring the temperature, it is denoted by °F. The most commonly used measurement for temperature is Celsius.
