Frequently Asked Questions
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases. It equals 0 Kelvin, -273.15°C, -459.67°F, or 0°R. It's the theoretical lower limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale.
Rankine is an absolute temperature scale primarily used in engineering systems involving heat cycles, particularly in the United States. It's the Fahrenheit equivalent of Kelvin — using Fahrenheit-sized degrees but starting from absolute zero.
A quick mental approximation is: double the Celsius value and add 30. For example, 20°C ≈ 2×20+30 = 70°F (exact: 68°F). For precise conversion, use F = (C × 9/5) + 32.
Celsius and Fahrenheit scales intersect at -40°, where -40°C = -40°F. This is the only point where both scales show the same numerical value.
