This is way off. -14 Fahrenheit is something we get in Minnesota. Most winters :-) Any commercial flight displays temperatures in the -50 range.
- Retric 14y agoNo, Temperature does weird things as you increase in altitude. So it's colder at 10km than 50km, then dips at 90km before rising again before dropping off in space. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/atmosphere/q0090.shtml http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/atmosphere/q0090.shtml
