218.67 degrees Fahrenheit equals:
To convert from 218.67 Fahrenheit to Kelvin, use the following formula and calculation:
The Fahrenheit scale is where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at standard atmospheric pressure.
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy.
Here are some common temperature reference points for comparison:
Reference Point | Celsius (°C) | Fahrenheit (°F) | Kelvin (K) |
---|---|---|---|
Absolute Zero | -273.15 | -459.67 | 0 |
Freezing Point of Water | 0 | 32 | 273.15 |
Room Temperature | 20 | 68 | 293.15 |
Body Temperature | 37 | 98.6 | 310.15 |
Boiling Point of Water | 100 | 212 | 373.15 |
To convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin, use the formula: K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
Different temperature scales were developed for different purposes throughout history:
The temperature where Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet is -40 degrees. That is, -40°C = -40°F.
