The speed of sound in air varies with temperature. The formula for the speed of sound in air is:

v = 331.5 + 0.6T

where v is the speed of sound in meters per second and T is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

Substituting T = -36°C into the formula, we get:

v = 331.5 + 0.6(-36)

v = 331.5 - 21.6

v = 309.9 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound in air at -36 degrees Celsius is approximately 309.9 meters per second.
