About Kelvin and Fahrenheit
Both the Kelvin (K) and the Fahrenheit (°F) 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
- 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.
- 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.
