Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Celsius measure?
-
Celsius (°C) measures thermodynamic temperature with 0 °C as the freezing point of water and 100 °C as the boiling point at standard pressure.
-
Where is the Rankine temperature scale used?
-
Rankine (°R) is used in thermodynamic and engineering calculations involving Fahrenheit-based units such as aerospace engineering and heat-engine performance.
-
Can I use the direct converter for precise scientific calculations?
-
This tool uses a simplified conversion rate, so it may not be suitable for high-precision scientific use requiring standard formulas with offsets.
Key Terminology
-
Celsius (°C)
-
A temperature scale where 0 °C is the freezing point and 100 °C is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
-
Rankine (°R)
-
An absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit degree increments, with 0 °R at absolute zero, used in thermodynamics and engineering.
-
Thermodynamic temperature
-
A measure of temperature absolute to a thermodynamic reference point, used in scientific and engineering contexts.
