Question

On Mars, the average temperature is -64 degrees Fahrenheit and the average atmospheric pressure is 0.92 kPa.

What is that temperature in Kelvin

Answer 1

To convert -64°F to Kelvin, first convert Fahrenheit to Celsius using C = (F - 32) × 5/9 to get -53.33°C. Then, convert Celsius to Kelvin with K = C + 273.15, resulting in 219.82 Kelvin.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the average temperature on Mars from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, we can use the following steps:

1. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.
2. Convert Celsius to Kelvin.

The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is: C = (F - 32) × 5/9, where F is the Fahrenheit temperature. For an average temperature of -64°F on Mars:

C = (-64 - 32) × 5/9

= (-96) × 5/9

= -53.33°C

Then, we convert Celsius to Kelvin using the formula: K = C + 273.15. So:

K = -53.33 + 273.15

= 219.82 K

Therefore, the average temperature on Mars of -64°F is equivalent to 219.82 Kelvin.
