The surface temperature on Venus may approach 737 K. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?

The temperature on Mercury may drop to –265 °F at night. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?


Sagot :

To convert K to C subtract 273.15. 

739K-273.15C= 465.85 C or approximately 466C

To convert F to C multiply by 1.8 and add 32.

so the answer is approximately -167 degrees celcius 




Answer:

                  i)   737 K =  463.85 °C

                  ii)   -265 °F =  -165 °C

Solution:

Converting 737 K into °C :

                                          As we know Absolute zero (0K) is equivalent to -273. 15 °C. Hence,

                                               K  =  °C + 273.15

Or,

                                               °C  =  K - 273.15

Putting value of K,

                                               °C  =  737 - 273.15

                                               °C =  463.85 °C

Converting -265 °F into °C :

As,

                                               °F  =  °C × 1.8 + 32

So,

                                               °C  =  °F - 32 ÷ 1.8

Putting value of °F,

                                               °C  =  -265 - 32 ÷ 1.8

                                               °C = -165 °C
