The average temperature on Earth is about 13°C. The highest recorded has been 56.7°C and lowest -89°C. These temperatures are dry bulb temperatures.

By comparison the core of the Earth is estimated to be between 3400°C and 7000°C, hotter than the melting point of steel (around 1500°C)

Most of the Earth's surface is subject to heating and cooling by the oceans and the atmosphere. Except for extreme locations on Earth (deserts, poles), the temperature range is compatible with human activities, falling in the range between -40° and +40° C (-40° to 104°F).

Temperatures tend to be hotter near the equator, or when it is summer at a given location. Ocean and air currents also affect the range of temperatures.

A:55.4 degrees Fahrenheit is the average temperature on the earth's surface.

The concept of the "average" temperature of the Earth is not an especially useful one. The Antarctic is always cold; the tropics are always hot. Deserts have great temperature variations, very cold at night, very hot during the day.

A:The best guess for the average temperature of Earth would be 287.20 K. (The capital K stands for Kelvin. Kelvin is the temperature you get by adding 273 more degrees to Celsius, or Centigrade.)

Kelvin is a thermodynamic temperature scale. It is used so there aren't any negative temperatures.

Comment: Obviously there's a lot of variation, but scientists usually give an average of about 15 to 18 degrees Celsius.
