This is because the amount of sunlight the reaches the equator changes very little, although the temperatures do vary somewhat during the rainy season. Measurement: The average surface temperature on Earth is approximately 14Â°C; but as already noted, this varies.
The Earthâs temperature can be much higher or lower than this temperature. In the hottest places of the planet, in the deserts near the equator, the temperature on Earth can get as high as 57.7Â° C. And then in the coldest place, at the south pole in Antarctica, the temperature can dip down to -89Â° C.he average Earth surface temperature is 14Â° C. Thatâs 287 kelvin, or 57.2Â° F.
