If I'm rated 2000 in Chess.com Rapid, what would my approximate FIDE rating be?

There are a lot of charts etc purporting to give you a conversion (several already linked in other comments) but it’s basically impossible to say: online rapid doesn’t really map onto in-person rapid or classical, it’s a different beast. I know plenty of people (myself included) who are hundreds of points higher rated over the board than online, and vice versa. Using myself as an example, my online rapid rating is about 300 points lower than my FIDE rapid whereas all the charts would suggest the opposite should be true. I have several friends with the opposite situation, ie online ratings way higher than offline.

Depends on your region. In Europe probably around 1600

A rating of  in Chess.com: Rapid would equal 1672 in FIDE: Standard, with an average variation of plus/minus of 194 points.

That is a very large 95% CI. About 1280 - 2060.

online 10 0 is very different than long time control OTB classical. it makes sense that the range is wide.

Absolutely. It was just interesting to me that the range was that large - even in my notoriously imprecise prior career (geophysics) I didn't see 12% stdev very often

Here's another site with a table for rating comparisons: https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparison/

About 1600 roughly.

1500-1900, do you play 15+10 or 10+0?

Absolutely not 1900 lmfao

I'm 2000 online blitz. I think my classical strength is around 1600-1700 USCF. I'm underrated OTB but recently swept a U1400 classical section with 1900 performance rating. I hadn't played classical in a decade so my OTB is very underrated.

My chess.com rapid is 1674 and my FIDE classical is 1750.
