About Fahrenheit and Kelvin

Both the Fahrenheit (°F) and the Kelvin (K) measure temperature. Because temperature scales have different zero points, converting between them requires both a scale factor and an offset rather than a single multiplication.

Unit definitions

Fahrenheit (°F)
The Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32° and boils at 212° at standard pressure.
Kelvin (K)
The Kelvin (K) is a unit of temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (0 K), the coldest possible temperature; water freezes at 273.15 K.
