Ksp only depends on temperature

I see over and over that Ksp is only dependent on temperature.

Can anyone elaborate on this more? What is the relationship between Ksp and temperature? Is there an equation or something?

The change in free energy (ΔG°) at standard conditions is equal to:

ΔG° = -RT ln (Keq)
where R is a constant, T is temperature (in Kelvin), and Keq is your equilibrium constant.

You can rearrange this equation to solve for Keq and you'll see that the only variable that effect Keq is Temperature
