Description

Rømer (°Rø): The Danish Astronomer's Temperature Scale

The Rømer scale, denoted as °Rø, was developed by Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer in the early 18th century. It sets the freezing point of water at 7.5°Rø and the boiling point at 60°Rø. The Rømer scale played a crucial role in the development of later temperature scales, including the Fahrenheit scale, and is an important milestone in the history of temperature measurement.

Rankine (°R): The Absolute Fahrenheit Scale

The Rankine scale, symbolized as °R, is an absolute temperature scale used mainly in engineering fields, particularly in the United States. It combines the Fahrenheit degree with the concept of absolute zero, starting at 0°R. The Rankine scale is essential in thermodynamic calculations where temperature differences are measured in Fahrenheit degrees, such as in aerospace and mechanical engineering applications.
