To convert temperatures from Kelvin to Celsius and Fahrenheit, we use the following formulas:
- Celsius (°C) = Kelvin (K) – 273.15
- Fahrenheit (°F) = (Celsius (°C) × 9/5) + 32
Let’s say we have the following Kelvin temperatures to convert: 0 K, 273.15 K, 373.15 K.
1. For 0 K:
- Celsius: 0 – 273.15 = -273.15 °C
- Fahrenheit: (-273.15 × 9/5) + 32 = -459.67 °F
2. For 273.15 K:
- Celsius: 273.15 – 273.15 = 0 °C
- Fahrenheit: (0 × 9/5) + 32 = 32 °F
3. For 373.15 K:
- Celsius: 373.15 – 273.15 = 100 °C
- Fahrenheit: (100 × 9/5) + 32 = 212 °F
In summary, here are the conversions:
- 0 K = -273.15 °C = -459.67 °F
- 273.15 K = 0 °C = 32 °F
- 373.15 K = 100 °C = 212 °F
