About converting Rankine to Kelvin

Converting Rankine to Kelvin is a common temperature conversion. One rankine (°R) equals 0.555555556 kelvin (K). Rankine is an absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit degree intervals, used in some US engineering applications.

This conversion is commonly needed for weather and travel planning, cooking and baking, scientific experiments. Kelvin is the SI unit for thermodynamic temperature, used in physics and engineering.

To put rankine in perspective: absolute zero (0 °R). In kelvin, common references include absolute zero (0 K).

Real-world examples
Rankine (°R)
  • absolute zero (0 °R)
  • water freezes (491.67 °R)
  • water boils (671.67 °R)
Kelvin (K)
  • absolute zero (0 K)
  • liquid nitrogen (-196 °C or 77 K)
  • the Sun's surface (about 5,778 K)
Did you know?

0 Kelvin (absolute zero) is theoretically the lowest possible temperature, where all molecular motion stops. It has never been fully achieved in a laboratory.
