The conversion of 200 Fahrenheit equals 360 Rankine. This is because Rankine is a temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, with each degree the same size as Fahrenheit. So, to convert Fahrenheit to Rankine, you add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature.
In detail, since Rankine (°R) measures absolute temperature like Kelvin but uses Fahrenheit degrees, the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Rankine is to add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit value. At 200°F, the calculation becomes 200 + 459.67 = 659.67°R, but note that in this context, the exact conversion for 200°F is 200 + 459.67, which results in 659.67 Rankine.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine (°R) is simple: add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature. This works because Rankine begins at absolute zero, and each degree Rankine equals one Fahrenheit degree. For example, for 200°F, calculation is 200 + 459.67 = 659.67°R.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50°F to Rankine:
- 50 + 459.67 = 509.67°R
- Result: 50°F equals 509.67 Rankine
- Convert 100°F to Rankine:
- 100 + 459.67 = 559.67°R
- Result: 100°F equals 559.67 Rankine
- Convert 0°F to Rankine:
- 0 + 459.67 = 459.67°R
- Result: 0°F equals 459.67 Rankine
- Convert -40°F to Rankine:
- -40 + 459.67 = 419.67°R
- Result: -40°F equals 419.67 Rankine

Conversion Definitions
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale where 32°F is the freezing point of water and 212°F is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure, with 180 degrees between them. It is mainly used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements.
Rankine
Rankine (°R) is an absolute temperature scale based on Fahrenheit degrees, starting at absolute zero, with each degree being equal to one Fahrenheit degree. It is used in thermodynamics and engineering where absolute temperature measurements in imperial units are needed.
Conversion FAQs
Why do I need to add 459.67 to Fahrenheit to get Rankine?
Because Rankine starts at absolute zero, which is -459.67°F. Adding 459.67 adjusts Fahrenheit readings to this absolute scale, aligning zero Rankine with absolute zero, making conversions straightforward.
Can I convert Fahrenheit to Rankine for temperatures below freezing?
Yes, the same formula applies regardless of temperature, whether above or below freezing. For example, -40°F converts to 419.67°R, showing that the formula works across the entire temperature spectrum.
Is Rankine used outside of engineering?
Rankine is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in thermodynamics, but it is not common for everyday temperature measurements outside specialized fields.
Does converting Fahrenheit to Rankine change the temperature’s physical meaning?
No, it simply shifts the scale to an absolute temperature measurement. The physical temperature remains the same, but the unit of measurement changes to reflect absolute zero as zero Rankine.
