Kelvin is a temperature scale, like Fahrenheit or Centigrade. It is generally used in scientific contexts. One degree Kelvin is equal to one degree Centigrade. In order to find the temperature in Kelvin, I have provided the following equations.
If you have a temperature in Fahrenheit and want to know it in Kelvin, it is easiest to convert to Centigrade first.
(Fahrenheit Temperature - 32) X (5/9) = (Centigrade Temperature)
If you have a Centigrade temperature and want to know it in Kelvin, you can convert it directly to Kelvin.
(Centigrade Temperature + 273) = (Kelvin Temperature)
The reason for the 273 is that scientists wanted the Kelvin scale to begin at Absolute Zero. Thus, Absolute Zero is 0 K and -273 degrees Centigrade. Since, as I stated above, one degree Centigrade is equal to one degree Kelvin, this equation works.
If you want to convert back from Kelvin, the following equations may be used.
(Kelvin Temperature -273) = (Centigrade Temperature)
And if you're asked to report the temperature in Fahrenheit, use
(Centigrade Temperature X (9/5)) +32 = (Fahrenheit Temperature)
It should be noted that you do not include a degree symbol when you report a Kelvin temperature.
