Answer

$T_2>T_3>T_1$

Work Step by Step

We can convert $T_1$ to degrees Celsius; $C = K - 273$ $C = 0 - 273$ $C = -273$ Therefore; $T_1 = -273^{\circ}C$ We can convert $T_3$ to degrees Celsius; $C = \frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ $C = \frac{5}{9}(0-32)$ $C = -18$ Therefore; $T_3 = -18^{\circ}C$ We can rank the three temperatures from highest to lowest: $ 0^{\circ}C> -18^{\circ}C> -273^{\circ}C$ $T_2>T_3>T_1$
