The average earth surface temperature :

  • A.28°C
  • B.32°C
  • C.15°C
  • D.5°C

Answer: C

The average surface temperature of the Earth is about 15°C.

The global mean surface temperature is close to 15°C (about 288 K). Without the natural greenhouse effect the planet would radiate to space at about -18°C, so greenhouse gases raise the surface temperature by roughly 33°C.

28°C and 32°C are typical of tropical regions, not the global average, and 5°C is far too cold for the whole Earth.
