Formula
To convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit, use the formula °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67.
°F = K × 9/5 − 459.67
Example calculation
Convert 25 K to °F:
25 K → °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67 → -414.67 °F

Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.
About the units
- Kelvin (K)
- The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
- 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.
