The main difference is that the Celsius temperature scale starts with the freezing point of water as the 0 mark and the boiling point is 100 degrees, a 100 unit difference. In Fahrenheit the freezing point is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees, a spread of 180. One degree Fahrenheit is equal to 5/9 degree Celsius.
