Converting from Fahrenheit (°F) to Rømer (°Rø) | Temperature

What is Fahrenheit (°F)

Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling points of water, where 32°F represents the freezing point and 212°F represents the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. It is commonly used in the United States for weather forecasts and everyday temperature measurements.

What is Rømer (°Rø)

Rømer (°Rø) is another temperature scale devised by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer in the 18th century. In the Rømer scale, the freezing point of water is 7.5°Rø and the boiling point is 60°Rø. Although not commonly used today, it provides an interesting historical perspective on temperature measurement.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Fahrenheit (°F) to Rømer (°Rø), you can use the following formula:

Rø=(F−32)×1807.5​

To convert from Rømer (°Rø) to Fahrenheit (°F), the formula is:

F=Rø×7.5180​+32

Examples

1. Converting 6°F to Rømer (°Rø): Rø=(6−32)×1807.5​=−0.08333333°Rø

2. Converting 9°F to Rømer (°Rø): Rø=(9−32)×1807.5​=0.7916667°Rø

3. Converting 4°F to Rømer (°Rø): Rø=(4−32)×1807.5​=−0.6666667°Rø

4. Converting 6°Rø to Fahrenheit (°F): F=6×7.5180​+32=26.85714°F

5. Converting 9°Rø to Fahrenheit (°F): F=9×7.5180​+32=37.14286°F

6. Converting 4°Rø to Fahrenheit (°F): F=4×7.5180​+32=20°F
