  2. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (temperature) - Wikipedia

    3.6 TK, temperature at which matter doubles in mass (compared to its mass at 0 K) due to relativistic effects; 5.5 TK, highest man-made temperature in thermal equilibrium as of 2015 (quark–gluon plasma from LHC collisions) [12] 10 TK, 100 microseconds after the Big Bang; 45–67 TK at collapsar of a gamma-ray burst

  4. Temperature - Wikipedia

    The kelvin is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI). Absolute zero, i.e., zero kelvin or −273.15 °C, is the lowest point in the thermodynamic temperature scale. Experimentally, it can be approached very closely but not actually reached, as recognized in the third law of thermodynamics. It would be impossible ...

  6. Hot Neptune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Neptune

    A hot Neptune is a type of giant planet with a mass similar to that of Neptune or Uranus orbiting close to its star, normally within less than 1 AU. [1] The first hot Neptune to be discovered with certainty was Gliese 436 b (Awohali) in 2007, an exoplanet about 33 light years away.

  7. Planetary equilibrium temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_equilibrium...

    Jupiter and Neptune have ratios of power emitted to solar power received of 2.5 and 2.7, respectively. [27] Close correlation between the effective temperature and equilibrium temperature of Uranus can be taken as evidence that processes producing an internal flux are negligible on Uranus compared to the other giant planets. [27]

  8. Neptune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune

    Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun. It is the fourth-largest planet in the Solar System by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17 times the mass of Earth. Compared to its fellow ice giant Uranus, Neptune is slightly more massive, but

  9. Extraterrestrial atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_atmosphere

    The average surface pressure on Mars is 0.6-0.9 kPa, compared to about 101 kPa for Earth. This results in a much lower atmospheric thermal inertia, and as a consequence Mars is subject to strong thermal tides that can change total atmospheric pressure by up to 10%. The thin atmosphere also increases the variability of the planet's temperature.
