Question
The coldest permanently inhabited place on earth is the Siberian village of Oymyakon in Russia. In 1964 the temperature reached a shivering $-96^{\circ} \mathrm{F} !$ What is this temperature in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ?
Step 1
We need to convert this to Celsius. The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by: \[C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)\] Show more…

With the temperature of $-67.7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ recorded on February $6,$ 1933, Oymyakon in Sakha (Yakutia), Republic of Russia, is considered to be the coldest permanently inhabited place on earth. However, summer months in Oymyakon can be very warm, even hot. On July 28 , 2010, the temperature reached $34.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) Express both temperatures on the Kelvin scale. (b) Calculate the variation of temperatures both in degrees Celsius and in kelvins.
