There are two different ways that temperature is measured it is always measured in either Celcius or Fahrenheit. Whereas the freezing point in Fahrenheit is 32 degrees the Celsius scale is much simpler to remember as the freezing point is 0. In turn the boiling point in Celsius is 100 and in Farenheit it is 212. Fahrenheit is usedin the United States and several of its terrotories.
However, every other country in the world used the Celsius temperature scale. It can be really simple to memorize the Celsius scale but it is harder to remember the important numbers on the Farenheit scale.
