Question

Venus, the second closest planet to the sun, has a surface temperature of 7.3 x 10^2 K Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

7.3*10^2 K = 457 C = 854.33 F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Surface temperature on sun = 7.3*10^2 K

To determine:

The temperature in degrees C and Kelvin

Calculation:

To convert Kelvin(K) to degrees Celsius (°C)

`C = K -273----(1)`

To convert Kelvin(K) to degrees Fahrenheit (F)

`F = K*(9)/(5)-459.67----(2)`

Based on equation (1):

`C = 730 -273 = 457 C`

Based on equation (2)

`F = 730*(9)/(5)-459.67=854.33 F`
