Rankine to Celsius
Please provide values below to convert Rankine [°R] to Celsius [°C], or change ↔.
Rankine [°R]
Definition: The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0°R is absolute zero, and the degree increments are the same as those in the Fahrenheit scale.
Historyandorigin: It was named after the Scottish physicist William John Macquorn Rankine. It was introduced in the 19th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in some engineering applications, particularly in the United States.
funfact: The Rankine scale is similar to the Fahrenheit scale but starts at absolute zero.
Celsius [°C]
Definition: The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
Historyandorigin: It was introduced by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. Originally, 0°C was the boiling point and 100°C was the freezing point, but it was later reversed.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in everyday contexts and scientific measurements in most countries.
funfact: The Celsius scale is also known as the centigrade scale because it is based on a 100-degree interval between the freezing and boiling points of water.

How to Convert Rankine to Celsius
1 Rankine [°R] = -272.59444444 Celsius [°C]
1 Celsius [°C] = 493.47 Rankine [°R]
we use cross multiplication method
Rankine [°R] → Celsius [°C]
1 → -272.59444444
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*-272.59444444=1*x
by simplifying
x=-272.31666667
