Answer

a) 102 $^{\circ}$ C - day -173 $^{\circ}$C - night b) 215 F$^{\circ}$ - day -280 F$^{\circ}$ - night

Work Step by Step

We do the proper unit conversions to obtain: a) $375 - 273 = 102 ^{\circ}C$ $100 - 273 = -173 ^{\circ}C$ b) $1.8(102) + 32 = 215 F^{\circ}$ $1.8(-173) + 32 = -280 F^{\circ}$
