Hold down the Alt key and then type 167 using the number pad on the far right side of your keyboard.
Release the Alt key and the º should appear.

... for PCs, if you hold down the "ALT" key while pressing the three digit ASCII code "248" on the number pad (not above the letters) then release the "ALT" key, it will write the ° symbol ... some applications or some websites have reserved the "ALT" key for special functions ... if this is the case (like here on AB), then either put it in your "Notepad" first, then copy/paste it from there ... or just find the symbol within the program "Character Map" and copy/paste it from there instead.

On a mac press option+0 (zero). By the way, it's 74º out right now. You can also press option+k which makes a slightly different one: 74˚

Make sure Number Lock is switched on. Hold down the Alt key on the keyboard and type 0176 on the numeric keypad. The symbol will appear when you release the Alt key.
In the case of laptops and other small keyboards that don't have a separate numeric keypad you should see that a group of letters toward the right hand side of the keyboard also have numbers printed on them - these keys become the numeric keypad when Number Lock is switched on.

I don't have a number pad on my laptop just the row above the letters.

all depends on what program you are in
typically you can find it in the character map in (windows) start > all programs > accessories (in might be in another subfolder)

alt + 0176 (cant get it to work though but thats what it says) and unicode value is U+00B0

On a Mac, type option-shift-8 (take the key combo used for a bullet and add the shift key).
The option-0 character isn't really a degree symbol; it's called a Masculine Ordinal Indicator, and it has a line under it in some fonts, and is therefore unsuitable as a degree symbol.
There's another key combo that's mistaken for a degree marker: option-k; but this is really a diacritical mark, and is smaller and appears higher above the baseline than a degree symbol. (It looks a bit like a superscripted degree symbol.)
