-271.15 Celsius to Rankine - Temperature Conversion

-271.15 degrees Celsius equals:

3.6 degrees Rankine

How to Convert -271.15 Celsius to Rankine

To convert from -271.15 Celsius to Rankine, use the following formula and calculation:

°R = (°C + 273.15) × 9/5

°R = (-271.15 + 273.15) × 9/5

°R = 2.00 × 9/5

°R = 3.6

Answer :

-271.15° c = 3.6° r

Understanding the Celsius to Rankine Conversion

The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with freezing set at 0°C and boiling at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure.

The Rankine scale is an absolute scale that uses the Fahrenheit degree as its unit interval, with 0°R representing absolute zero.

Why do we use different temperature scales?

Different temperature scales were developed for different purposes throughout history:

Celsius is commonly used in scientific contexts and for everyday measurements in most countries
Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States for everyday measurements
Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature used in scientific contexts, especially in physics
Rankine is an absolute scale that extends the Fahrenheit scale, used in some engineering fields

What temperature is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit?

The temperature where Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet is -40 degrees. That is, -40°C = -40°F.
