79.85 degrees Celsius equals:
To convert from 79.85 Celsius to Rankine, use the following formula and calculation:
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.
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 Celsius to Rankine, use the formula: °R = (°C + 273.15) × 9/5
Different temperature scales were developed for different purposes throughout history:
The temperature where Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet is -40 degrees. That is, -40°C = -40°F.
