Kelvin to Rankine

Kelvin and Rankine are both absolute thermodynamic temperature scales, meaning they both start at absolute zero. Because their zero points are identical, you don't need to add or subtract any offset. However, their degree intervals differ: Kelvin matches Celsius, and Rankine matches Fahrenheit. To convert Kelvin to Rankine, you simply multiply your Kelvin reading by 1.8.
