11. What is the temperature of the sun in Fahrenheit?
Expert Solution
Explanation:
10. The equivalent temperature of 5,778 Kelvin in Celsius is 5,505°C.
The formula to convert temperature from Kelvin to Celsius is: C = K - 273.15
So, in this case: C = 5,778 - 273.15 C = 5,505°C
As a result, the Sun's surface temperature of 5,778 Kelvin is equal to 5,505 degrees Celsius.
