Answer:

The temperature in degree Celsius is -165 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Temperature in Fahrenheit = -265 °F

Temperature in degrees Celsius = ?

Solution:

Formula:

(°F − 32) × 5/9 = °C

By putting values in given formula:

= (-265 - 32) × 5/9

= -297 × 5/9

= -165°C

Hence if the temperature on mercury is -265 °F at night it means the temperature is -165°C in degrees Celsius.
