Question

The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was $-89.2\degree\text{C}$ at Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica. The highest temperature ever recorded was $56.7\degree\text{C}$ at Greenland Ranch in California. What is the difference between the highest and lowest recorded temperatures?

Answer 1

Answer:

145.9°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Lowest temperature recorded (Soviet Vostock station Antarctica) = - 89.2°C

Highest temperature recorded (Greenland Ranch California) = 56.7°C

Difference between the highest and lowest recorded temperature :

(Highest temperature - lowest temperature)

(56.7°C - (-89.2°C))

= 56.7°C + 89.2°C

= 145.9°C
