For example: The temperature is 30 degrees「温度は30度です」(おんどは30どです). The second meaning is 'time', referring to an occurrence or instance of an event. For example: This is the first time I've been here「ここに来るのは初めての度です」(ここにくるのははじめてのどです). The word is versatile and context-dependent, so it's important to pay attention to how it's used in sentences.
