Given:

The temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees Celsius.

To find:

The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures.

Solution:

It is given that the temperature on the moon can vary from -172 to -126 degrees Celsius.

Since
-172 <-126 , therefore the minimum temperature is -172 and the maximum temperature is -126.

The difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is:

Difference = Maximum temperature - Minimum temperature

$\text{Difference}=-126-(-172)$

$\text{Difference}=-126+172$

$\text{Difference}=46$

Therefore, the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures is 46 degrees Celsius.
