Kelvin
The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is named after the London engineer and physicist William Thomson, who was elevated to the peerage as Lord Kelvin in 1892, four years after his death. The Kelvin scale is an absolute, thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics. The kelvin unit is equal to one quadrant of the thermodynamic temperature scale (at least in theory), which ranges from zero to a maximum value of plus and minus 273.15 degrees. The Kelvin scale is widely used in science and technology. The Kelvin temperature unit is used as a measure of absolute temperature. It's the equivalent of 0° Celsius and 273.15 K (degrees Kelvin) equals -273.15° Celsius, or 0° Kelvin is equal to the triple point of VSMOW (standard mean ocean water). There are several combinations and conversions of units that involve the Kelvin temperature. To convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius using kelvins, you must add 273.15 to a number in Fahrenheit to get its value in kelvins. For example, adding 273.15 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit will give you about 373.15 kelvins.
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736) that uses the degree Fahrenheit as the unit. It is named after the astronomer and physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736). On the original scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees, and the boiling point 212 degrees. The unit is also known as Farenheit or Reaumur. In science and in cooking, the Fahrenheit scale is commonly used in the USA. This temperature scale was named after an astronomer named Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736). The Celsius unit of temperature is named after a Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744).
