About the Temperature Scales
Newton Scale (°N)
The Newton scale, created by Isaac Newton in 1701, is a historic temperature scale that uses the freezing point of water as its zero point. The scale is divided into 33 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water.
Rankine Scale (°R)
The Rankine scale, proposed by William John Macquorn Rankine in 1859, is an absolute temperature scale that uses the Fahrenheit degree intervals. Zero on the Rankine scale is equal to absolute zero (-459.67°F).
