Kelvin to Fahrenheit, K > °F
Converts temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit.
Kelvin Temperature Scale
The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero, where zero Kelvin represents the theoretical zero point of thermal motion in matter. In this scale, temperature is measured in kelvins (K), with one kelvin equal to one-tenth of the difference between the 'triple point' of water (the temperature of equilibrium between solid, liquid, and gaseous states, 0.01°C) and absolute zero. The kelvin is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). Thus, the Kelvin scale is used in scientific calculations and technical fields where avoiding negative temperature values and requiring absolute accuracy are important.
How to Convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit? Formula
To convert temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, multiply the temperature value in kelvins by the coefficient 9/5 and then subtract 459.67. Formula:
Absolute Minimum Temperature in Kelvin
Absolute zero is the theoretical minimum temperature at which particles of matter cease all motion and possess no thermal energy. In the International System of Units (SI), absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin (K), which corresponds to -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. Absolute zero serves as the basis for many thermodynamic calculations and studies.
