Freezing · 273.2 K
32 °F
°F = K × 9/5 − 459.67. 300 K = 80.33 °F.
Temperature scales have different zero points, so you can't just multiply: there's an offset too.
°F = K × 9/5 − 459.67
Example: 300 K = 80.33 °F. Water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K.
The kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature. 0 K is absolute zero; a change of 1 K equals a change of 1 °C.
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit proposed his scale in 1724. Water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F. The US is the main country that still uses it day to day.
°F = K × 9/5 − 459.67.
Use the reverse formula: K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9. Or press the ⇄ button on the converter.
