The symbol for fahrenheit is F.
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32 and boils at 212 at standard atmospheric pressure.
It is commonly used for weather forecasts, ovens, thermostats, body temperature, and appliances in the United States.
Fahrenheit to Celsius uses C = (F - 32) x 5/9.
The symbol for kelvin is K.
kelvin is a temperature unit supported by this converter. The symbol for kelvin is K.
Kelvin are used when comparing temperature values in calculators, reference tables, and technical notes.
This page uses the temperature conversion factor stored for kelvin to keep results consistent across the calculator and table.
