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.
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.
Try "Rankine" instead of "Rakine". In the same way that the SI unit of temperature the Kelvin is defined as being (effectively) the celsius scale, but with zero set at Absolute zero, the Rankine scale has the same degree size as Fahrenheit, but with zero = Absolute zero. So 0 Rankine = -459 Fahrenheit Freezing point of water = 491.67 R Boiling point of water = 671.641 R
The Rankine scale, like the Kelvin scale, establishes a zero point at "absolute zero", the theoretical minimum temperature of any matter. But the Rankine scale uses the same size "degree" as Fahrenheit, making zero degrees R = -459.67 °F. So in the four common scales, 0 R = -459.67 °F = 0 K = -273.15 °C.
Both Kelvin and Rankine are absolute temperature scales (The bottom of the scale is absolute 0 meaning there is no lower temperature). Rankine is used more by engineers and Kelvin by scientists
Rankine temp = 1.8(Celsius temp) + 491.67

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.
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.
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).
37 degrees Celsius = 558.27 degrees Rankine.
The Fahrenheit scale is not absolute and also is obsolete.The absolute scale is Kelvin.

There are four units for temperature: Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine. The Kelvin scale is the same as the Celsius scale, just with the zero point being absolute zero. The Rankine scale is the same thing for the Fahrenheit scale. ■
