Question

The temperature on Mercury may drop to –263 °F at night. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

-163.889 in Celsius. In Kelvin since you are in College 10.15.

Answer 2

Answer:
`-163.9^0C`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like
`^0C` and
`K`

These units of temperature are inter convertible.

We are given:

Temperature of the gas =
`-263^0F`

Converting this unit of temperature into
`^0C` by using conversion factor:

`^oC=(5)/(9)* (^oF-32)`

`^oC=(5)/(9)* (-263^oF-32)`

`^oC=-163.9`

Thus the temperature is
`-163.9^0C`.
