There have been many "standard" temperature scales used. These include:
- Fahrenheit
- Rankine
- Celcius (Centigrade)
- Kelvin
- Réaumur
- Newton
- Rømer
- Delisle
- Leyden
- Dalton
- Wedgewood
- Hales
- Ducrest
- Edinburgh
- Florentine
Assuming the temperature scales you are referring to are Fahrenheit and Rankine, Celsius and Kelvin which are in use today, they are related as follows:
C=(F-32)*(5/9)
K=C+273.15
F=C*(9/5)+32
R=F+459.67
By analyzing the equations you can see that the degree unit is different between Fahrenheit and Celsius. The unit degree of Fahrenheit is smaller than that of the degree Celsius since it has a multiplier greater than one (9/5). In fact since the multiplier is approaching 2 the degree unit is approaching half the size of the Celsius degree unit from the greater side. This same ratio applies in the related scales based on absolute zero (Kelvin and Rankine)
However as we compare the Kelvin degree unit to the Celsius degree unit we see there is no multiplier just the addition or subtraction of 273.15. Similarly Fahrenheit and Rankin are related by the value 459.67. The units are of the same magnitude just adjusted so that 0oK and 0oR are considered absolute zero.
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, and at this temperature all atomic motion ceases. In other words electons will no longer orbit the nucleus of an atom. (really really cold). The current world record for approaching absolute zero was set in 1999 at 100 picokelvins (pK) or 1x10-10 oK away from absolute zero,,

What is the xkcd temperature scale and how does it differ from traditional temperature scales?
The xkcd temperature scale is a humorous and fictional temperature scale created by the webcomic xkcd. It differs from traditional temperature scales by using unconventional and absurd units of measurement, making it impractical for scientific use.
What are 2 SI units for temperature?
* kelvin * Celsius both temperature scale have the same gradations but differ in end-point of reference.
What does the "K" in temperature represent and how does it differ from other temperature scales?
The "K" in temperature represents the Kelvin scale. Unlike other temperature scales like Celsius and Fahrenheit, the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. This makes the Kelvin scale more scientifically accurate and easier to work with in scientific calculations.
What can exist in three states?
Water. The thermodynamic scale of temperature is based on the triple point of water, the temperature at which water coexists in all the three states.
What can exist in all three states?
Water. The thermodynamic scale of temperature is based on the triple point of water, the temperature at which water coexists in all the three states.
What are three units for measuring temperature?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin are three common units for measuring temperature. Each unit has a different scale for measuring temperature.
What is the difference between absolute temperature scale and kelvin scale urgent I am convinced that there is a difference?
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero. The absolute temperature scale refers to any temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, such as the Kelvin scale. So, the Kelvin scale is a specific type of absolute temperature scale.
What do a ton an ounce and a pound have in common and how are they different?
All three are measures of mass which is the amount of matter contained in a body. They differ in their scale.
What is ment by the Kelvin scale of temperature?
the absolute temperature scale
What is Fahrenheit based off of and how does it differ from other temperature scales?
The Fahrenheit temperature scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water. It differs from other temperature scales, like Celsius and Kelvin, in its reference points and degree intervals.
What is the temperature scale where water freezes at 32?
The temperature scale where water freezes at 32 degrees is Fahrenheit.
What does the c stand for in temperature scale today?
The "c" in the temperature scale stands for Celsius, which is a commonly used international temperature scale.
