I need to know because a question says: What would happen to Antartica if the temp of it rose to 5 degrees celcuis.

In Canada we use celsius and the metric system. It is terrible for me because I grew up using Fahrenheit. However, an easy way to figure temperature, although not entirely accurate, but close enough. Is take the temp x2 and add 30. So your 5x2=10+30=40.So that means if the temp rose 40 degrees , it would cause a lot of melting of ice. Doesn't sound good.

5 C is 5 degree above the ice melting point, so what would happen if the temperature in Antartica was to go to 5 C is that all the ice and snow there would melt.

In kelvins which is usually used in Chemistry
The formula for Kelvin is:
K=273 C +C= Kelvins
So 273+5 celcius is 278 kelvins.

5 degrees Celcius is 5 degrees Celcius, hello?

The Celcius (also called Centigrade) scale is based around water; 0º C is the freezing point of water, 100º C is its boiling point. At 5º C, you wouldn't have a whole lot of ice or snow left...

5 degree celcius is also known as a standard day which is dependent on ground elevation an is usually 29.95 or 29 degrees faranheit.

(5C * 9 / 5) + 32 = 41F
