1 Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine (°R)
Temperature Converter
Temperature is a measure of the hotness or coldness of an object or the environment. It represents the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance or system. Temperature is an important physical quantity used in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life.
Below is a table showcasing various units of temperature and their common conversions:
Unit Name | Unit Symbol | Conversion to Kelvin |
---|---|---|
Kelvin | K | 1 Kelvin |
Celsius | °C | Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15 |
Fahrenheit | °F | °F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 |
Rankine | °R | Rankine = Kelvin × 9/5 |
Fahrenheit
It's not clear how the Fahrenheit was derived. It might be from freezing point of a brine solution at 0 °F. Now it's standardized as 5/9(°F +459.67) kelvin
Rankine
Similar to Kelvin, Rankine is an absolute scale where 0°R is absolute zero. °R can be converted to Kelvin by multiplying 5/9
