and the Kelvin temperature scales? (a) The size of the degree on the
Celsius scale is larger than that on the Kelvin scale by a factor of 9/5.
(b) Both scales assign the same temperature to the ice point, but they as-
sign different temperatures to the steam point. (c) Both scales assign the
same temperature to the steam point, but they assign different temperatures
to the ice point. (d) The Celsius scale assigns the same values to the ice
and the steam points that the Kelvin scale assigns. (e) The size of the

Question 26
Suppose the sun was twice its current temperature. Recall, the sun is 7 x 105 km in
radius, with a surface temperature of 5800 K., and our distance from the sun is D =
150 million km. Using the equation to model the temperature of the earth,
(sun)1/4 Tsun and remembering you have to work in the absolute temperature
4D²
scale (OK = -273°C), what would happen to the temperature of the earth (in Kelvin
scale)?
It would be a quarter times as hot.
It would twice as hot.
It would be four times as hot.
It would be half as hot.
