About these units
Celsius puts 0° at the freezing point and 100° at the boiling point of water at sea level. Fahrenheit puts them at 32° and 212°, so one Celsius degree equals 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. Kelvin uses Celsius-sized degrees but starts at absolute zero (−273.15 °C) and is written without a degree sign. Because the scales have different zero points, a temperature conversion adds or subtracts an offset as well as scaling.
FAQ
› How do I convert K to °F?
1 K = -457.87 °F. To convert, use the formula °F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32: 310.15 K = 98.6 °F.
› What is 1 °F in K?
1 °F = 255.9277778 K. The reverse formula is K = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15.
› At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?
At −40°: −40 °C is exactly −40 °F.
› What is normal body temperature?
About 37 °C, which is 98.6 °F or 310.15 K. Normal readings vary by about half a degree Celsius.
