Differing in situ values have been reported for the average temperature on Mars, [23] with a common value being −63 °C (210 K; −81 °F). [24] [25] Surface temperatures may reach a high of about 20 °C (293 K; 68 °F) at noon, at the equator, and a low of about −153 °C (120 K; −243 °F) at the poles. [26]
[3] [5] [2] The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner and colder than Earth's having a max density 20g/m 3 (about 2% of Earth’s value) with a temperature generally below zero down to -60 Celsius. The average surface pressure is about 610 pascals (0.088 psi) which is 0.6% of the Earth's value. [2]
The temperature at that time: 37 degrees Fahrenheit (2.8 degrees Celsius). [2] On August 21, 2012, one of two anemometers returned data with errors. After testing it was concluded that it was broken, probably hit by a rock on descent. [7] Martian winds can still be detected with the other sensor. [7]
As a result of a runaway greenhouse effect Venus has a temperature of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius), hot enough to melt lead. It is the hottest planet in the Solar System, even more than Mercury, despite being farther away from the Sun. [ 8 ] Likewise, the atmosphere of Venus is almost completely carbon dioxide, and the ...
From January through October, the average temperature was 58.26 degrees Fahrenheit (14.59 degrees Celsius), which is an anomaly of 3.29 degrees Fahrenheit (1.83 degrees Celsius) above typical values.
[9] [26] There can be large temperature swings on Mars, for example at the equator it may reach 70 degrees F (20 degrees C) in the daytime but then go down to minus 100 degrees F (−73 C) at night. [27] Examples of Mars surface temperatures: [27] Average −80 degrees Fahrenheit (−60 degrees Celsius).
The standard measuring conditions for temperature are in the air, 1.25 metres (4.1 ft) to 2.00 metres (6.6 ft) above the ground, [5] and shielded from direct sunlight intensity (hence the term x degrees "in the shade"). [6]
Lower 48 records range from minus 2 degrees to minus 70 degrees. The graphic below shows the all-time coldest temperature on record in each state, according to NOAA. Those record-low benchmarks ...
