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.

What is unique about the kelvin temperature scale?

It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)

How do you convert degrees celsius to degrees rankine?

To convert from degrees Celsius into degrees Rankine, add 273.15, multiply by 9, and divide by 5. For example, 0 degrees Celsius is equal to (0 + 273.15) = 273.15 x 9 = 2458.35 / 5 = 491.67 degrees Rankine. R = 9/5 (C + 273.15) For every additional degree Celsius, the difference between Rankine and Celsius increases by 9 / 5 = 1.8 degrees - the same amount as it increases for x+1 degrees Fahrenheit. Here is a small table: 0 degrees C = 491.67 Rankine. 1 degree C = 493.47 Rankine. 2 degrees C = 495.27 Rankine. Similarly, for every increase of one degree Fahrenheit, the number of degrees Rankine increases by 1. For example: 32 Fahrenheit = 491.67 Rankine 33 Fahrenheit = 492.67 Rankine. To convert Celsius to Rankine, first convert Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15, then multiply by 9/5 or by 1.8 to get the Rankine temperature. R = 9/5 (C + 273.15) *Rankine is the Fahrenheit temperature scale re-adjusted to start at absolute zero, so it is also the Fahrenheit temperature plus 459.67 degrees. -459.67°F = 0 R


The what is used to express absolute temperatures in the English system of measurement?

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.


Celsius is to Kelvin as Fahrenheit is to what?

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.
