Kelvin to Fahrenheit Converter

About Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F) Units

Kelvin (K) is the standard temperature unit used in science, physics, and engineering to measure absolute temperature. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin starts at absolute zero (0 K), which is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. Kelvin does not use the degree symbol. For example, 0°C equals 273.15 K, and room temperature is about 298 K. It is widely used in laboratories, space science, thermodynamics, and any field that requires precise temperature measurements. Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature unit mainly used in the United States for weather forecasts, cooking, refrigerators, and household measurements. In this scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. For example, a typical room temperature is around 68–72°F, and normal body temperature is about 98.6°F. Many people prefer Fahrenheit because it gives more precise temperature steps for daily weather and comfort levels.
