The scale is called the Rankine scale. It is essentially the Fahrenheit temperature increased by 459.67 degrees. Because it is based on absoute zero, there are no negative temperatures in Rankine.
Kelvin (value suffixed by K), Celsius / Centrigrade (value suffixed by °C), Fahrenheit (value suffixed by °F), Rankine (value suffixed by °R)
In science, especially physic, it is best to use absolute scale such as Kelvin or Rankine for ease of calculation and formula solving. See example for Gas law written in degree Celsius or Fahrenheit. Instead of PV = nRT, we have PV = nRT + n.C Solving V for change of T require taking care of constant C In our common daily use, Celsius or Fahrenheit is working fine because we used to it.
Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.Fahrenheit scale - Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°FCelsius scale (centigrade) - Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°CKelvin scale - same scale as Celsius degrees, but offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15°K and boils at 373.15°K
In the SI system, the absolute temperature scale is measured in Kelvin (K), where 0 K represents absolute zero, the theoretical point where all thermal motion ceases. The ordinary temperature scale in the SI system is Celsius (°C), which is based on the freezing and boiling points of water. In the English system, temperature is typically measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) for ordinary use, while absolute temperature is often expressed in Rankine (°R), where absolute zero is 0 °R and the size of the degree is the same as that of Fahrenheit.
The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed. The Rankine scale is useful in calcluations of oil or gas present in an oil or gas reservoir (one of the factors in the equations is the ratio of standard temperature to formation temperature; generally add 460 to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankine).
the fourth scale for measuring temperature is RANKINE...
The Rankine scale was named after the Scottish engineer and physicist William Rankine (1820–1872). He based this temperature scale on the Fahrenheit scale but measured in absolute zero rather than based on the freezing point of water.
Room temperature on the Rankine scale is approximately 560-570 degrees Rankine. This corresponds to around 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit on the more commonly used Fahrenheit scale.
Rankine
Rankine. Rankine is a temperature scale that is used alongside Fahrenheit, where 0 Rankine is absolute zero and each degree Rankine is equal to a degree Fahrenheit.
The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed.

The Rankine scale is used. On that scale, you use Fahrenheit-size degrees, but the zero of the scale is at -459.67
reaumur scale, rankine scale
The scale is called the Rankine scale. It is essentially the Fahrenheit temperature increased by 459.67 degrees. Because it is based on absoute zero, there are no negative temperatures in Rankine.
37 degrees Celsius = 558.27 degrees Rankine.
The Fahrenheit scale is not absolute and also is obsolete.The absolute scale is Kelvin.
