Answer:

7.3*10^2 K = 457 C = 854.33 F

Explanation:

Given:

Surface temperature on sun = 7.3*10^2 K

To determine:

The temperature in degrees C and Kelvin

Calculation:

To convert Kelvin(K) to degrees Celsius (°C)

[tex]C = K -273----(1)[/tex]

To convert Kelvin(K) to degrees Fahrenheit (F)

[tex]F = K*\frac{9}{5}-459.67----(2)[/tex]

Based on equation (1):

[tex]C = 730 -273 = 457 C[/tex]

Based on equation (2)

[tex]F = 730*\frac{9}{5}-459.67=854.33 F[/tex]
