Unit History
About rankine
Proposed by Scottish engineer William Rankine in 1859, the Rankine scale mirrors Kelvin but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees. It serves niche roles in engineering fields that rely on imperial measurements.
About celsius
Developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, the Celsius scale sets water's freezing point at 0° and boiling point at 100° at standard atmospheric pressure. It is the most widely used temperature scale in science and everyday life worldwide.
