The highest surface temperature, on any of the solar system's planets is found
on Venus. Partly because of its nearness to the sun and partly because of the
extreme pressure of its atmosphere, the average daytime temperature on Venus
is 453°C. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and in kelvins?
In contrast to Venus, the coldest temperature yet measured on the surface of
any body in the solar system is -235°C. This temperature was detected by
Voyager 2 as it passed by Neptune's largest moon, Triton. What is Triton's
surface temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and in kelvins?
The warmest temperature in Antarctica was recorded at the Vanda Station on
the Scott Coast. On January 5, 1974-early summer in the southern
hemisphere-a high temperature of 15°C was reached. Express this
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and kelvins.
Answer must be given as calculated
