Fahrenheit scale starting at absolute zero. Used in US engineering.
About the degree Celsius
Water freezes at 0°, boils at 100° at standard pressure.
How degree Rankine to degree Celsius conversion works
Temperature scales are affine: the result needs both a scale factor and a zero-point offset. That is why °R to °C cannot be reduced to a simple percentage change.
The right unit depends on the convention used by your industry, country, instrument, or source document.
Unit definitions and conversion factors are maintained in the Unitbox methodology. Last reviewed with the current conversion dataset.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert degree Rankine to degree Celsius?
Multiply the degree Rankine value by -272.594444 to get it in degree Celsius. For example, 10 °R = -267.5944 °C.
What is 1 °R in °C?
1 °R = -272.594444 °C.
What is 100 °R in °C?
100 °R = -217.5944 °C.
What is the formula?
Temperature is an affine quantity. The formula depends on the source and target scales; °R → °C uses: T(°C) = T(°R) × 0.555556 + -273.15, then applies the inverse on the other side.
