288.15 Kelvin to Rankine
288.15 K = 518.67 °R
288.15 kelvins equals 518.67 degrees Rankine.
How to convert 288.15 K to °R
Use the formula °R = K × 9/5:
°R = 288.15 × 9/5°R = 518.67
So 288.15 K = 518.67 °R.

About kelvin and rankine
The kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero (0 K = −273.15 °C) and uses degrees the same size as Celsius, so it never goes negative.
The Rankine scale starts at absolute zero like Kelvin but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees (0 °R = −459.67 °F). It is still used in some US engineering work.
