About degree Fahrenheits
Degree Fahrenheit (°F) — The Fahrenheit scale places water freezing at 32 °F and boiling at 212 °F at standard pressure.
Common uses: Fahrenheit is common in the United States for weather forecasts, ovens, cooking, body temperature, and home thermostats.
About kelvins
Kelvin (K) — Kelvin is the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is an absolute scale where 0 K is absolute zero, equal to -273.15 °C.
Common uses: Kelvin is used in science, physics, chemistry, engineering, astronomy, thermodynamics, and lighting color temperature.
