Question

The surface temperature on Venus may approach 757 K. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?

The temperature on Mercury may drop to –269 °F at night. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ) Temperature of Venus in Kelvins = 757 Kelvins

`0^oC=273 Kelvins`

Temperature of Venus in degrees Celsius =
`757-273 K=484 K`

2 ) Temperature on Mercury at night =
`-269^oF`

`(T)^oC=((T)^oF-32)* (5)/(9)`

`(T)^oC=((-269)^oF-32)* (5)/(9)=167.22^oC`

Temperature on Mercury at night in degree Celsius = 167.22° C

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert temperature from kelvin to degree celsius, we will subtract 273 form the given temperature.

Therefore, convert 757 K to degree celsius as follows.

Temperature in degree celsius = 757 K - 273

= 484 degree celsius

To convert temperature from degree fahrenheit to degree celsius, we will subtract 32 from the given temperature and then multiply by
`(5)/(9)`.

Therefore convert –269 °F into degree celsius as follows.

Temperature in degree celsius =
`(-269 - 32) * (5)/(9)`

=
`-301 * (5)/(9)` degree celsius

= -167.22 degree celsius
