Convert Petakelvins to Kelvins
Please provide values below to convert Petakelvins [PK] to Kelvins [K].
How to Convert Petakelvins to Kelvins
1 PK = 1000000000000000 K
1 K = 1e-15 PK
Example: convert 10 PK to K: 10 PK = 10 × 1000000000000000 PK = 10000000000000000 PK
Petakelvins
Definition: A petakelvin (PK) is a unit of temperature equal to 10¹⁵ kelvins, used in extreme astrophysical conditions and high-energy physics.
History: Temperatures reaching **petakelvin levels** are theorized to exist in **quark-gluon plasmas, the cores of hypermassive stars, and moments after the Big Bang**. While not used in everyday science, petakelvins help describe the most extreme thermal environments in the universe.
Kelvins
Definition: A kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature, defined based on the Boltzmann constant, where 0 K represents absolute zero, the theoretical point where all atomic motion stops.
History: The **kelvin scale** was named after **Lord Kelvin (William Thomson)**, a physicist who formulated the absolute temperature scale. It was officially adopted as an SI base unit in **1954**. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, the Kelvin scale does not use degrees, and its zero point (absolute zero) is the lowest possible temperature in the universe.
