A Correct answer
Explanation

Setting the thermostat to 72°F (22°C) in the summer is recommended to save energy. Each degree lower can reduce energy consumption by up to 5%.

Multiple choice

What is the temperature of a nebula?

  1. Very hot

  2. Very cold

  3. Somewhere in between

  4. It depends on the type of nebula

C Correct answer
Explanation

The temperature of a nebula can vary depending on the type of nebula. Emission nebulae are typically hotter than reflection nebulae and dark nebulae.

Multiple choice

In the Celsius scale, what temperature is represented by zero degrees?

  1. The freezing point of water

  2. The boiling point of water

  3. Absolute zero

  4. Room temperature
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In the Celsius scale, zero degrees corresponds to the freezing point of water, which is the temperature at which water turns from a liquid to a solid.
