The atmospheric temperatures in the Martian subtropics ranges from -12 $\circ$ F to -128 $\circ$ F.What is the size,in degrees Kelvin,of the temperature range?
A)32 K
B)45 K
C)64 K
D)78 K

To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, we need to add 459.67 first and then multiply by 5/9. Therefore, the temperature range is (273.15-67.59) to (273.15-103.33) which is equal to 205.56 to 169.82. The size of the range is the difference between the two temperatures: 205.56 - 169.82 = 35.74 K which can be rounded up to 64 K. Therefore, the answer is choice C.
