Rankine to kelvin
Please provide values below to convert Rankine [°R] to kelvin [K], 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.
kelvin [K]
Definition: The kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by setting the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to 1.380649×10^-23 J/K.
Historyandorigin: The kelvin was named after the British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. It was originally defined based on the triple point of water and absolute zero.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in scientific contexts, especially in thermodynamics and astronomy.
funfact: Absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, is 0 K.

How to Convert Rankine to kelvin
1 Rankine [°R] = 0.5555555556 kelvin [K]
1 kelvin [K] = 1.8 Rankine [°R]
we use cross multiplication method
Rankine [°R] → kelvin [K]
1 → 0.5555555556
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.5555555556=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.8333333333
