Definitions of Fahrenheit and Kelvin
What is Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. It is predominantly used in the United States for weather and daily measurements. For related unit metrics, you can use our fahrenheit to celsius conversion tool.
What is Kelvin?
Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute scale starting at absolute zero, where thermal motion ceases. If you need to make other calculations, see our celsius to kelvin conversion tool.
How to Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin
To convert temperatures from fahrenheit to kelvin, you can use the official formula:
Step-by-Step Example
Suppose you want to convert 5 fahrenheit to kelvin. Using the conversion steps:
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
5 - 32 = -27 - Multiply by 5/9:
-27 × 5/9 = -15 - Add 273.15:
-15 + 273.15 = 258.15 - Result: 5 Fahrenheit is equal to 258.15 Kelvin.
