The Réaumur scale and the Celsius scale are both temperature scales, though the Réaumur scale is less commonly used today. Understanding how to convert between these scales can be valuable for historical research, scientific data analysis, or simply expanding your knowledge of temperature measurement systems.
The Réaumur scale was developed by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730. It is a descending scale where the freezing point of water is 0°R, and the boiling point of water is 80°R.
The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale, is widely used internationally. It is based on the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point of water at 100°C.
The formula to convert Réaumur to Celsius is:
**Celsius (°C) = Réaumur (°R) * (5/4)**
To make the conversion process easier, we've created a simple online calculator:

Simply enter the temperature in Réaumur degrees (°R) into the calculator, and it will instantly display the equivalent temperature in Celsius degrees (°C).
Let's say you have a temperature of 20°R. To convert this to Celsius:
