You are probably above sea level so that the atmospheric pressure is lower than sea level pressure. Water boils at lower temperatures as the pressure is lowered. The other possibility is that the thermometer is not calibrated correctly, but I'd go with the atmospheric pressure is below sea level pressure.

How hot is it on Europa?

Temperature: Europa's surface temperature at the equator never rises above minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 160 degrees Celsius). At the poles of the moon, the temperature never rises above minus 370 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 220 degrees Celsius).


How many degrees f are in 84 c?

183 F ----------------------- A Fahrenheit degree covers 5/9 the range of temperature that a single Celsius degree covers. So 84 Celsius degrees cover a range that takes 151.2 Fahrenheit degrees to cover. But the scales that use these two types of "degrees" start (have their 'zero' points) at different places (temperatures), so there's no simple, one-step relationship between their respective values at the same physical temperature. -- Place one thermometer of each kind in a cold chamber at -40°, and they both display the same number. -- Drop them both into a jar of ice-water. The Celsius thermometer reads 0° and the F. one reads +32°. -- Using long tongs, ease them both into a pot of boiling water. The Fahrenheit thermometer reads +212°, while the Celsius one reads +100° . -- If you could bring them into a lab where absolute zero has been achieved (never been done) and stick both of your thermometers into the Nobel-prize- winning cold chamber, the Celsius one would read -273.2° and the Fahrenheit one would read -459.7° . -- Going back to what I think you meant by your question, at the temperature where a Celsius thermometer reads 84°, a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 183.2° .


You are planning to go to a very cold place where the night temperature drops to minus 50 deg c which thermometer will you take with you- mercury or alcohol and why?

I would take an alcohol thermometer because it can accurately measure temperatures as low as -70 degrees Celsius, whereas a mercury thermometer may not work reliably at such low temperatures. Additionally, alcohol is less likely to freeze at extremely cold temperatures compared to mercury.


At what temperature will Celsius and kelvin thermometers display the same reading?

0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 273 degrees Kelvin. an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of 1 degree Kelvin. Therefore they will never display the same reading.

What temperature degree celsius and kelvin are same?

The 'kelvin' and the celsius 'degree' are identical temperature intervals ... they are the same size. The marks on the kelvin thermometer and the marks on the celsius thermometer are the same distance apart. Both scales have 100 divisions between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water, but the scales start at different places. (Kelvin starts at 'absolute zero', celsius starts at the freezing temperature of water.) The graphs of these two scales are parallel lines. The graphs never intersect, meaning that there is no temperature where kelvin and celsius are the same number.


How many kalvins are equal to -196 degrees Celsius?

It's Kelvin, and it's never plural. Since both the celcius and Kelvin scales are centigrade scales (100 degrees between freezing point and boiling point of water), and 0C = 273K -196 degrees Celsius = 77K

How many hours will it take for a paper to undergo spontaneous combustion under 34.5 degrees celsius?

34.5 degrees Celsius = 94.1 degrees Fahrenheit, so, never! Paper ignites at about 451 degrees Fahrenheit and does not spontaneously go through combustion.
