4) -100.3 °C

Answer 1

On July 21, 1983, the lowest recorded temperature in Vostok, Antarctica was -89.2 °C or 183 K, marking the coldest natural Earth surface temperature ever recorded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest recorded temperature in the world was at Vostok, Antarctica, on July 21, 1983. The record low was -89.2 °C, which is equivalent to 183 K.

These extreme conditions reflect the fact that Antarctica is the coldest continent, with interior areas getting much colder than the coast. The temperature recorded at the Russian research station on that day still stands as the coldest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth’s surface.
