Fahrenheit and Kelvin

Temperature conversions between F and K are crucial in science, engineering, and daily life. Whether you’re calculating for a physics experiment or simply curious about the relationships between these temperature scales, this guide and our Fahrenheit to Kelvin converter have you covered.

Temperature Units Explained

• Fahrenheit (°F): Commonly used in the United States, Fahrenheit measures temperature with 32°F as the freezing point and 212°F as the boiling point of water under standard atmospheric pressure.

• Kelvin (K): The Kelvin scale is used in scientific fields and is based on absolute zero, the point where molecular motion stops. It starts at 0 K, with no negative values, and water freezes at 273.15 K.

How Do You Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin?

The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Kelvin is:
K = (°F – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

Example: Convert 70°F to Kelvin

1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value:
   70−32=38
2. Multiply by 5/9:
   38×5/9≈21.11
3. Add 273.15:
   21.11+273.15≈294.26

So, 70°F is approximately 294.26 K.

How Do You Convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit?

The formula for converting Kelvin to Fahrenheit is:
°F = (K – 273.15) × 9/5 + 32

Example: Convert 300 K to Fahrenheit

1. Subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin value:
   300−273.15=26.85
2. Multiply by 9/5:
   26.85×9/5≈48.33
3. Add 32:
   48.33+32≈80.33

So, 300 K is approximately 80.33°F.

FAQs

1. Is Fahrenheit equal to Kelvin plus 273?

No. Adding 273 to Fahrenheit does not convert it to Kelvin. The correct formula includes subtraction, multiplication, and addition.

2. How to calculate K from F?

Use the formula:
K = (°F – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

3. Do you add 273 to Celsius to get Kelvin?

Yes, the relationship between Celsius and Kelvin is simple:
K = °C + 273.15

4. Is Kelvin just Celsius?

Not exactly. Kelvin and Celsius have the same increment size, but Kelvin starts at absolute zero (0 K), while Celsius starts at the freezing point of water (0°C).

5. How cold is 500 Kelvin?

500 K is approximately 440.33°F, which is very hot compared to everyday temperatures.

6. What temperature is 1 Kelvin?

1 Kelvin is extremely cold—approximately -457.87°F.
