SUMMARY
Degrees Rankine is an absolute temperature measurement scale used primarily in thermodynamics, particularly in English units. It is directly related to the Fahrenheit scale, where 0 degrees Rankine is equivalent to absolute zero. The Rankine scale is often utilized in engineering applications involving heat transfer and thermodynamic calculations, similar to how Kelvin is used in metric systems.
