Chapter 1.11, Problem 9PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Moon’s surface temperature at night and during the day is given on the ${}^{\circ }\text{C}$ scale. The Moon’s surface temperature at night and during the day is to be represented on the Fahrenheit scale.

Concept introduction: The formula for the conversion of ${}^{\circ }\text{C}$ into ${}^{\circ }\text{F}$ is,

${}^{\circ }\text{F}=\left({}^{\circ }\text{C}\right)\times \frac{9}{5}+32$

The formula for the conversion of ${}^{\circ }\text{C}$ into $\text{K}$ is,

$\text{K}=\left({}^{\circ }\text{C}\right)+273$

To determine: The representation of the Moon’s surface temperature at night and during the day on the Fahrenheit scale and Kelvin scale.
