244.49 Kelvin to Rankine - Temperature Conversion

244.49 degrees Kelvin equals:

440.082 degrees Rankine

How to Convert 244.49 Kelvin to Rankine

To convert from 244.49 Kelvin to Rankine, use the following formula and calculation:

°R = K × 9/5

°R = 244.49 × 9/5

°R = 440.082

244.49° k = 440.082° r

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy.

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

Kelvin	Celsius	Fahrenheit	Rankine
234.49	-38.66	-37.59	422.08
239.49	-33.66	-28.59	431.08

Here are some common temperature reference points for comparison:

Reference Point	Celsius (°C)	Fahrenheit (°F)	Kelvin (K)
Absolute Zero	-273.15	-459.67	0
Freezing Point of Water	0	32	273.15
Room Temperature	20	68	293.15
Body Temperature	37	98.6	310.15
Boiling Point of Water	100	212	373.15

To convert Kelvin to Rankine, use the formula: °R = K × 9/5

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

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