The Sahara desert with a very arid climate is one of the hottest regions in the world. Its average temperature is above 30°C or 86°F. In a 24-hour period, the temperature can go from a day-time high of 95°F to a low of 32°F at night. (a) By how many Celsius degrees does the temperature fall in the 24-hour period? °C (b) By how many Kelvin degrees does the temperature fall in the 24-hour period? K

On a summer day in Phoenix, Arizona, the inside room temperature is maintained at 68° F while the outdoor air temperature is a sizzling 110° F . What is the outdoor– indoor temperature difference in (a) degrees Fahrenheit, (b) degrees Rankine, (c) degrees Celsius, and (d) kelvin? Is one degree temperature difference in Celsius equal to one temperature difference in kelvin, and is one degree temperature difference in Fahrenheit equal to one degree temperature difference in Rankine? If so, why?

A temperature of a body is measured to be 26°C. Determine the temperature in °R.
