Question

The table gives the average temperature on the surface of a few planets. Planets Temperature (°C) Venus 449 Earth 7 Neptune -201 Saturn -139 Mars -63 Identify the planet whose temperature is closest to 0°C and the planet whose temperature is farthest from 0°C.
A)VENUS
B)EARTH
C)NEPTUNE
D)SATURN
E)MARS

Answer 1

Answer:

For closest: B

For farthest: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus 449: 449 from 0

Earth 7: 7 from 0

Neptune -201: 201 from 0

Saturn -139: 139 from 0

Mars -63: 63 from 0

Closest is 7,

So Earth

Farthest is 449,

So Venus

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are A and B. The planet whose temperature is closest to 0ºC is Earth, and the one whose temperature is farthest to 0ºC is Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

As established by the table, the Earth has an average ambient temperature of about 7ºC, which moves 7 units of measurement away from the value of 0ºC, which makes the planet from the list with a temperature closer to 0ºC.

In turn, Venus has a temperature of 449°C, which removes it 449 degrees from the temperature of 0°C, thus making it the planet on the list whose temperature is the furthest from 0ºC.
