Temperature Converters

About Units

Fahrenheit: Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale developed by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees, and the boiling point is 212 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure. The Fahrenheit scale divides the interval between these two points into 180 equal parts. Although it is primarily used in the United States and its territories, the Fahrenheit scale is also used in some Caribbean countries for weather forecasts, as well as for measuring temperatures in household settings, including cooking and air conditioning.

Kelvin: Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) and is named after the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale where 0 K, or absolute zero, is the point at which molecular motion ceases, representing the lowest possible temperature. The scale increments are equivalent to those of the Celsius scale, with each Kelvin unit corresponding to one degree Celsius. Kelvin is primarily used in scientific research, particularly in physics and chemistry, for precise measurements of temperature, including cryogenics, space science, and high-temperature processes. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, the Kelvin scale does not use the term "degrees," and temperatures are simply expressed in Kelvins (e.g., 300 K).

What is 1 Fahrenheit in Kelvin?

1 Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion.
Answer: 1 Fahrenheit (°F) equals 0.00 Kelvin (K)
Scientific Calculation

1 °F * 9/5 + 32 = 0.00 K
Real-life Examples

  • Are you planning a trip to a country where the temperature is measured in Kelvin? If the weather forecast says it will be 1 °F in your country, you can convert it to 0.00 K for the destination country.
  • When cooking a recipe that lists oven temperatures in Fahrenheit, knowing how to convert to Kelvin is essential. If the recipe says to preheat the oven to 1 °F, you should set your oven to 0.00 K.
  • Reading a scientific article that provides data in Fahrenheit? To understand the data in Kelvin, you need to convert 1 °F to 0.00 K.
  • In a physics experiment, you need to cool a substance to 1 °F. You need to know what this temperature is in Kelvin to set your equipment correctly. The converted temperature is 0.00 K.
  • When studying climate change, scientists often compare historical temperature data. If a record shows 1 °F from the past, it might be helpful to convert it to Kelvin. The equivalent temperature is 0.00 K.
  • In engineering, materials might have specific temperature tolerances listed in Fahrenheit. For accurate project specifications, converting these values to Kelvin is crucial. For example, 1 °F converts to 0.00 K.
  • When hiking at high altitudes, temperatures can drop significantly. If your gear is rated for 1 °F, converting this to Kelvin helps you understand the limits. This means 0.00 K.
