Fahrenheit (°F)
Temperature
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32 exactly; the conversion is affine, not a single multiplying factor.

Kelvin (K)
Temperature
Traceable to the kelvin, defined by fixing the Boltzmann constant at 1.380 649 × 10⁻²³ J/K. Celsius and Fahrenheit are exact affine transforms of the kelvin scale.

How to Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin
This conversion uses an offset formula, so it cannot be described by a single multiplication factor.
Formula: K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
Reverse: °F = (K - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
Step-by-Step Example
- Start with your value in Fahrenheit. For example: 5 °F
- Apply K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
- The result is: 258.15 K
About Fahrenheit
The Fahrenheit scale sets 32°F as the freezing point and 212°F as the boiling point of water. It is primarily used in the United States.
Fun Fact: Daniel Fahrenheit chose 96°F as his upper reference point, based on human body temperature (which he measured slightly inaccurately).
Common uses: weather (US), cooking (US), HVAC.
About Kelvin
The Kelvin scale is the SI unit of temperature that starts at absolute zero (−273.15°C). It is used extensively in scientific research.
Fun Fact: At 0 Kelvin (absolute zero), all molecular motion stops. It has never been fully achieved in a laboratory.
Common uses: physics, astronomy, chemistry.
