About the units
Degree Rankine (°R)
The Rankine scale starts at absolute zero, like the kelvin, but uses degrees the size of Fahrenheit degrees. It appears in some US engineering work.
Degree Celsius (°C)
On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 °C and boils at 100 °C at sea level. Almost every country uses it for weather and cooking.
