As you will know, it varies across the planet.
The average temperature of Earth's surface has varied between 13.8 and 14.6 degrees Celsius (56.8 and 58.3 degrees Fahrenheit) during the period from 1950 to 1999.
In the year 1999, the average global temperature was approximately 14.4 degrees Celsius (57.9 degrees Fahrenheit).
The highest recorded has been 56.7oC and lowest -89oC. These temperatures are dry bulb temperatures.
By comparison the core of the Earth is estimated to be between 3400oC and 7000oC, hotter than the melting point of steel (around 1500oC) The average temperature is 14° C. That's 287 kelvin, or 57.2° F.
As you probably realize, that number is just an average. The Earth's temperature can be much higher or lower than this temperature. In the hottest places of the planet, in the deserts near the equator, the temperature on Earth can get as high as 57.7° C. And then in the coldest place, at the south pole in Antarctica, the temperature can dip down to -89° C.
The reason the average temperature on Earth is so high is because of the atmosphere. This acts like a blanket, trapping infrared radiation close to the planet and warming it up. Without the atmosphere, the temperature on Earth would be more like the Moon, which rises to 116° C in the day, and then dips down to -173° C at night.
Earth's surface temperature can varies from place to place ofcourse, the current weather also plays a huge role. Then there's the fact of global warming and the sun.
All these are usually in constant change but Earth's temperature on average is about 28-34 degrees Celsius.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
Why do you think the Moon's surface is different from the earth?
Because when I look up from the Earth, the surface of the Moon looks like nothing on Earth.
The Moon's gravity is 6 times ------ than that on the Earth's surface?
The Moon's gravity is 6 times weaker than that on the Earth's surface.
What are rocks that hit the earth's surface called?
Rocks that hit the Earth's surface are called meteorites. When a meteoroid (a rock in space) survives its journey through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.
What is molten material below the surface of earth called?
Molten material below the surface of the Earth is called magma. It consists of molten rock, gases, and suspended solids. Magma can eventually erupt onto the Earth's surface as lava through volcanic activity.
How do you spell tempriture?
It is spelt TEMPERATURE.
What is the coldest tempriture in the Arctic?
-50 Celsius
What is a symbolic representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth surface called?
A symbolic representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth surface is called map.
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
What is the models of Earth's surface?
A model of the Earth's surface is a globe.
What does magma do when it reaches Earth's surface?
it breaks the earth's surface
Is the Earth's surface mostly land?
No. Earth is mostly composed of the hydrosphere (water) with 3/4 of the earth's surface. While lithosphere has 1/4 of earth's surface.
What forces in earth help shape earth's surface?
the plates under earth's surface
A representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth's surface?
A representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth's surface is referred to as a map. There are different types of maps that will represent varied data and different locations.
How deposition change the surface of the earth?
Deposition changes the surface of earth by eroding away the surface.
What is another name for the Earth's surface?
Another name for the Earth's surface is:THe crust
Cracks in the earth's surface?
the deep crack in the earth's surface is the rift
