Conversion History
How it Works
The Kelvin temperature converter utilizes a set of formulas to convert temperatures between Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine. For instance, to convert Kelvin to Celsius, it subtracts 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature. The formulas used are as follows:
- Kelvin to Celsius: K - 273.15 = °C
- Kelvin to Fahrenheit: (K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32 = °F
- Kelvin to Rankine: K * 9/5 = °R
Conversion Examples
Kelvin | Celsius | Fahrenheit | Rankine |
---|---|---|---|
0 K | -273.15 °C | -459.67 °F | 0 °R |
273.15 K | 0 °C | 32 °F | 491.67 °R |
373.15 K | 100 °C | 212 °F | 671.67 °R |
