Actually, the United States is the only country to use the ferenheit degree system. The rest of the world uses celcius. That is why sometimes you will see the temperature in both settings.

because our american school system continues to teach both... it's kind of stupid if you ask me. celcius temperatures are a lot easier to work with (0 degrees is freezing point, 100 degrees is boiling point of water, etc...) than ferenheit... but i am so familiar with farenheit temperatures that celcius readings are confusing to me. i'm guessing that this confusion is why people resist switching to just celcius.

Most countries did or now do use degrees Celsius (0=freezing) to describe heat & cold etc. However some countries such as
the U.S. still use the old farenheit system. To maintain harmony between countries and provide info for businesses and travellers, news astations, weather reports, car equipment , airlines and all use both degees farenheit and celsius to report temperature. Similarly with baking and cooking information where both measures are often provided. For trading of goods between countries it is essential that many are manufactured as per both farenheit and celsius.
Furtermore in our own countries we are caught betwwen generations, some who have only learned farenheit, in between generations who can work to some level with both systems and some young generations ( as in Canada) who really know only celsius.
I hope this answers your question.

Celsius is used because it's easier, 0 for the water melting point, 100 for its boiling point. Farenheit, because most people in the USA is still familiar with it. Otherwise, most countries have long adopted Celsius.

Because the American scientific community refuses to let the Imperial system go.

because celsius is the standard for temperature, but the u.s. decided it wanted to be different than everyone else, so we use fahrenheit.

I guess for the same reason we use both meters and yards.
