700 kelvin equals approximately 800.33 degrees fahrenheit.
To convert kelvin to fahrenheit, you subtract 273.15 to get celsius, then convert celsius to fahrenheit by multiplying by 9/5 and adding 32. This way, the absolute temperature scale kelvin gets translated into the temperature scale fahrenheit.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kelvin (K) to fahrenheit (°F) is:
°F = (K – 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
First, the kelvin temperature is converted to celsius by subtracting 273.15. Then the celsius value is converted to fahrenheit by multiplying by 9/5 and adding 32. This works because celsius and kelvin scales have the same increment size; fahrenheit scale uses a different increment size and zero point.
For example, converting 700 K:
- Subtract 273.15: 700 – 273.15 = 426.85 °C
- Multiply by 9/5: 426.85 × 9/5 = 768.33
- Add 32: 768.33 + 32 = 800.33 °F
Conversion Example
Let’s convert 300 kelvin to fahrenheit step-by-step:
- Subtract 273.15 from 300: 300 – 273.15 = 26.85 °C
- Multiply 26.85 by 9/5: 26.85 × 9/5 = 48.33
- Add 32 to 48.33: 48.33 + 32 = 80.33 °F
- So, 300 K equals approximately 80.33 °F
Another example, converting 500 kelvin:
- Subtract 273.15: 500 – 273.15 = 226.85 °C
- Multiply by 9/5: 226.85 × 9/5 = 408.33
- Add 32: 408.33 + 32 = 440.33 °F
And one more, converting 1000 kelvin:
- Subtract 273.15: 1000 – 273.15 = 726.85 °C
- Multiply by 9/5: 726.85 × 9/5 = 1308.33
- Add 32: 1308.33 + 32 = 1340.33 °F

Conversion Definitions
Kelvin: Kelvin is the unit of thermodynamic temperature in the International System of Units, starting at absolute zero where particles have minimum thermal motion. It is used in science and engineering without negative values, making calculations straightforward.
Fahrenheit: Fahrenheit is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees under standard atmospheric conditions. It is mainly used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements.
Conversion FAQs
Why do I subtract 273.15 when converting kelvin to fahrenheit?
Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which equals -273.15 degrees celsius. Subtracting 273.15 converts kelvin to celsius, then you convert the celsius to fahrenheit. Without subtracting, the result wouldn’t match the fahrenheit temperature.
Can I convert kelvin directly to fahrenheit without celsius?
The conversion involves celsius as an intermediate because kelvin and celsius share the same scale increments but different zero points. Direct formulas include the celsius step implicitly, so you always subtract 273.15 first before scaling and shifting to fahrenheit.
Why does kelvin have no negative values but fahrenheit does?
Kelvin measures absolute temperature from absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature, so it can’t be negative. Fahrenheit is relative to water’s freezing and boiling points, so it includes negative values for temperatures below freezing.
Is the conversion formula accurate for all kelvin values?
The formula works for any kelvin temperature since it’s a linear conversion based on fixed scale relationships. However, extremely high or low values might be less common in daily use but still valid mathematically.
Why is 700 kelvin such a high temperature in fahrenheit?
700 kelvin is equal to about 800 degrees fahrenheit, which is very hot compared to everyday temperatures. Since kelvin starts at absolute zero and increments in the same size as celsius, 700 K represents a very high thermal energy level.
