  1. They both are same we can call them as abbrevations


  2. There is no difference. Celcius is the international recognised term for metric temperature. Centigrade was a term  used in earlier days, before the metric measurement was more  internationally adopted.

  3. Centigrade is an another term for Celsius. The Celsius scale, which is identical to the centigrade scale, is named for the 18th-century Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who first proposed the use of a scale in which the interval between the freezing and boiling points of water is divided into 100 degrees. By international agreement, the term Celsius has officially replaced centigrade.

    There are no differences in those 2. But I think, they only differ in spelling.

    Hope I helped. :)

  4. Centigrade is the old name for the Metric measure of temperature, with 100 or centi, divisions between te freezing and boiling point of water. Celsius is the man who made the original 100 point scale, so it is named after him in honor. Both are abbreviated with a capital C.

  5. No difference.
