How to convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit
- Formula:
°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 - Put in the value: 120 kelvins.
- Result: -243.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

Converting the other way: degrees Fahrenheit to kelvins
K = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15. So -243.67 degrees Fahrenheit is back to 120 kelvins; one degree Fahrenheit is 255.927778 kelvins. See the degrees Fahrenheit to kelvins table.
Quick estimate in your head
Go through Celsius: a Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 of a kelvin, and 0 °C is 32 °F and 273.15 K.
Common mistakes
Multiplying without the offset is the usual slip: 0 °C is 32 °F, not 0 °F. Do the subtraction or addition in the right order, as in the formula above.
About the units
Kelvin (k) and degree Fahrenheit (f) are both units of temperature. Temperature scales have different zero points, so converting needs an offset as well as a multiplication. Results on this page are rounded for display; the conversion itself uses the exact definitions.
Temperature conversions come up in weather forecasts, cooking and oven settings, body temperature and science classes.

Questions
How many degrees Fahrenheit are in 120 kelvins?
-243.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the formula to convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit?
°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
How many degrees Fahrenheit are in one kelvin?
One kelvin is -457.87 degrees Fahrenheit, but temperature scales have different zero points, so you cannot simply multiply by this number.
Is 120 k more than 120 f?
No. 120 kelvins is -243.67 degrees Fahrenheit, which is less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do I convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit in a spreadsheet?
Put the temperature in A1 and type =(A1-273.15)*9/5+32 in the next cell. Fill the formula down to convert a whole column.
