T(K) means the temperature in the unit Kelvin. T(C) means the temperature in Celsius. If T(K) = T(C) + 273, and the current temperature is -27 C, what is the current temperature?

Hi! the question has some missing portion. The complete question is "T(K) means the temperature in the unit Kelvin. T(C) means the temperature in Celsius. If T(K) = T(C) + 273, and the current temperature is -27 C, what is the current temperature in kelvin?"

The current temperature is 246 K.

Explanation:

Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature which is symbolized as K. It is often called the absolute temperature. The lowest possible temperature in a Kelvin scale is "0". There exists no temperature beyond "0 K".

The mathematical relation between the temperature in the Kelvin scale to the temperature in the degree Celcius scale is given as:

......................... (1)

The current temperature in the degree Celcius scale is

Substituting the above value into equation-(1), we get:

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
