Rankine (R) and Celsius (°C) are two different temperature scales commonly used to measure temperature.
Rankine (R)
Rankine is an absolute temperature scale commonly used in engineering and thermodynamics. It is based on the Fahrenheit scale but starts from absolute zero. In the Rankine scale, absolute zero is 0 R, and the size of one degree Rankine is equal to the size of one degree Fahrenheit. Therefore, the Rankine scale has the same increments as the Fahrenheit scale but starts from absolute zero.
Celsius (°C)
Celsius, also known as Centigrade, is a temperature scale widely used in most of the world. It is based on the Celsius degree, which is defined as 1/100th of the temperature difference between the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of pure water at sea level atmospheric pressure. In the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0°C, and the boiling point of water is 100°C at sea level.
How to convert Rankine to Celsius
The Rankine and Celsius scales are two different temperature scales. To convert from Rankine (R) to Celsius (°C), you can use the following formula:
°C = (R – 491.67) × 5/9
In this formula, you subtract 491.67 from the temperature in Rankine and then multiply the result by 5/9 to obtain the temperature in Celsius.

Frequently Asked Questions on Rankine to Celsius
What is the formula Celsius to Rankine?
Formula Celsius to Rankine: To convert from Celsius (°C) to Rankine (R), you can use the following formula: R = (°C + 273.15) × 9/5 + 491.67
What is the formula for Rankine?
The Rankine (R) scale is based on the Fahrenheit scale, so the formula to convert from Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine is: R = °F + 459.67
What is the unit of Rankine?
The unit of Rankine is denoted by R.
What is 32 degrees F in Rankine?
To convert 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine (R), you can use the formula mentioned above: R = °F + 459.67 R = 32 + 459.67 R = 491.67
Is 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C?
32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to 0 degrees Celsius (°C). The two temperature scales have different reference points, so the numerical values differ, but they intersect at -40 degrees, and at -40 degrees, 32°F is equal to 0°C.
What is the symbol for Rankine?
The symbol for Rankine is R.
