Converting from Kelvin (K) to Fahrenheit (°F) | Temperature

What is Kelvin (K)

Kelvin (K) is the primary unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature where molecular motion ceases.

What is Fahrenheit (°F)

Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale commonly used in the United States and a few other countries. It is based on the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F under standard atmospheric pressure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between Kelvin and Fahrenheit are as follows:

Temperature in Fahrenheit (°F)=Temperature in Kelvin (K)×59​−459.67

Temperature in Kelvin (K)=(Temperature in Fahrenheit (°F)+459.67)×95​

Examples

1. Converting 7 K to °F:

7 K=−447.07 °F

7 °F=259.2611 K

2. Converting 13 K to °F:

13 K=−436.27 °F

13 °F=262.5944 K

3. Converting 12 K to °F:

12 K=−438.07 °F

12 °F=262.0389 K

By using the provided conversion formulas and examples, you can easily convert temperatures between Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).
