Rankine Vortex: Velocity profile for a symmetric circulation in which the inner core is in solid rotation and tangential winds outside the core vary inversely with radial distance from the center.
Raindrops act like prisms, breaking the light into the colors of a rainbow, with red on the outer, and blue on the inner edge.

See Kelvin temperature scale, Rankine temperature scale. Absolute zero A hypothetical temperature characterized by a complete absence of heat and defined as 0K, ‑273.15°C, or ‑459.67°F.
1849 - William John Macquorn Rankine calculates the correct relationship between saturated vapour pressure and temperature using his hypothesis of molecular vortices.
Rankin Temperature Scale: Named after "William John Macquorn Rankine" Scottish engineer and physicist.
Where at a temperature of Absolute Zero molecular energy is minium -459 degrees R. The freezing point of water is 492 degrees R.
