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
