convertimate Thermal radiation

Kelvin to kilowatts per square meter

Type a value in K to get it in kW/m² instantly.

0.4593kW/m²

That's 1.04× as hot as the Earth’s surface, while a person is 1.03× hotter. It radiates about 459.3 W from every square meter.

What it means

How much does it radiate?

These are for a perfect black body. A real surface radiates its emissivity times as much — around 0.95 for skin and paint, 0.05 for polished metal.

The math

How to convert K to kW/m²

Two laws at once: W/m² = 5.670 × 10⁻⁸ × T⁴ for the power, and peak nm = 2,897,772 ÷ T for the color.

Example: 300 K = 0.4593 kW/m².
