The scale was invented by the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius. The section of the scale most used was the 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water and this was know as the centigrade scale from the Latin for one hundred.
The same degrees were used in the Kelvin scale which measures temperatures from absolute zero and Celsius became the correct term for the centigrade scale. If the Kelvin and Fahrenheit scales are named after their inventors, it is only right that Anders Celsius is given the same honour.
Celsius is the international standard these days. I think there is only one country in the world that still uses Fahrenheit.

Mr. Celcius came up with the centigrade scale when scientists were trying to get a universal system, Metric or SI. He set it for 0 degrees fr the melting/freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling/condensing point for water. He choose water because everyone on earth has it. He called it centigrade because he put 100 degrees between boiling and freezing. Later they changed the name to honor him. They are the same scale.

Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale).

They're the same. Centigrade is an older term, celsius is the modern term (standardized in 1948.)

Well you can never understand God if thats what you mean You can only think like a man - but God is on a much higher plane of existence Isa 55:8 ¶ For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa 55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. And though uncertain in origin and certainly not found in Scripture (the phrase may originate from William Cowper's hymn "God Moves in a Mysterious Way"), that God does work in ways curious and beyond the measure of our limited experience and conception is obvious. Deuteronomy 29:29 reminds us that: The secret things belong to the Lord our God. The final chapters of Job present God's reprimand of Job wherein He asks how Job could possibly understand or judge the reasons for God's actions (Job being so far removed from God in power, wisdom, and longevity). And perhaps the biggest mystery is revealed us in Romans 8:28. And we know that all thing work together for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Though we may not understand the purpose of our circumstances in God's plan, we are assured that every detail will work for the benefit of the Redeemed.

Never heard of centigrade, but it would have to do with 100 because of its prefix

I think Celsius is Latin or French degrees might be English

zero degrees celsius is when water freezes zero degrees centigrade is when molecular motion ceases.

yup. most everyone was right, except for the few that didn't even answer your question... there is NO difference. They are one and the same.
