Key Formulas

Celsius → Fahrenheit

°F = f(°C)

Fahrenheit → Celsius

°C = f(°F)

Celsius → Kelvin

K = f(°C)

Kelvin → Celsius

°C = f(K)

Formula

°F = °R - 459.67

Both Rankine and Fahrenheit use the same degree size — the only difference is where they start. Rankine starts at absolute zero (0°R), while Fahrenheit's zero is 459.67°R above absolute zero. Simply subtract 459.67 to convert.
