Question

What is the lowest temperature on the Kelvin scale? Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

The Kelvin scale is known as the absolute scale. The lowest temperature in Kelvin is the temperature 0 (there is no negative temperature in Kelvin).

The conversion from Kelvin to Fahrenheit is given by the formula below:

`F=1.8\cdot\left(K-273.15\right)+32`

Using K = 0 in this formula, we have:

`\begin{gathered} F=1.8\cdot(-273.15)+32\\ \\ F=-459.67\text{ \degree F} \end{gathered}`

So the lowest temperature in Fahrenheit is -459.67 °F.
