Given:

The temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees Celsius.

To find:

The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures.

Solution:

It is given that the temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees Celsius.

Since
-172 <-126, therefore the minimum temperature is -172 and the maximum temperature is -126.

The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is:

Difference = Maximum temperature - Minimum temperature


\text{Difference}=-126-(-172)


\text{Difference}=-126+172


\text{Difference}=46

Therefore, the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is 46 degrees Celsius.
