Formula
To convert degrees Fahrenheit to kelvins, use the formula K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9.
K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9
Example calculation
Convert 25 °F to K:
25 °F → K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9 → 269.261 K

Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.
About the units
- Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
- Used for everyday temperatures in the US and a few other countries. Proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724; water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F.
- Kelvin (K)
- The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
