1. Surface temperatures on the planet Mars range from –89 °C to -31 °C. Express this temperature
range in Kelvin
2. The average surface temperature on Jupiter is about 165K. Express this temperature in degrees Celsius.
3. The average surface temperature on Saturn is 134K. Express this temperature in degrees Celsius.
4. The average surface temperature on the dwarf planet Pluto is 50K. Express this temperature in degrees
Celsius.
5. The Sun has several regions. The apparent surface that we can see from a distance is called the photosphere.
Temperatures of the photosphere range from 5,000 °C to 8,000 °C. Express this temperature range in Kelvin
The chromosphere is a hot layer of plasma just above the photosphere. Chromosphere temperatures can
