Question

Venus, the second closest planet to the sun, has a surface temperature of 7.3 x 10^2 K Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.3*10^2 K = 457 C = 854.33 F

Explanation:

Given:

Surface temperature on sun = 7.3*10^2 K

To determine:

The temperature in degrees C and Kelvin

Calculation:

To convert Kelvin(K) to degrees Celsius (°C)

$C = K -273----(1)$

To convert Kelvin(K) to degrees Fahrenheit (F)

$F = K*\frac{9}{5}-459.67----(2)$

Based on equation (1):

$C = 730 -273 = 457 C$

Based on equation (2)

$F = 730*\frac{9}{5}-459.67=854.33 F$
