What is the average temperature of the Earth's surface?

32°F
0°F
65°F
212°F

The correct answer is: 65°F

The average temperature of the Earth's surface is not 32°F or freezing point because the Earth's surface consists of more than just frozen water. It also includes land masses, oceans, and atmosphere. 0°F is also incorrect because it is well below freezing point and does not accurately reflect the average temperature of the entire Earth's surface. Furthermore, 212°F is the boiling point of water, which again does not accurately represent the average temperature of the Earth's surface. The correct answer is 65°F, which takes into account the varying temperatures of different regions and factors in the Earth's overall average temperature.
