Inconsistency: surface temperature 93.7 K / −179.5 °C / −290.2 °F — Celsius and Fahrenheit values are not equivalent
The infobox states Titan's mean surface temperature as 93.7 K (−179.5 °C; −290.2 °F). The Kelvin and Celsius values are consistent with each other, but the Fahrenheit value is inconsistent with both.
Verification:
From K: 93.7 − 273.15 = −179.45 °C → rounds to −179.5 °C ✓
From K to °F: (93.7 × 9/5) − 459.67 = 168.66 − 459.67 = −291.0 °F
From °C to °F: −179.5 × 9/5 + 32 = −323.1 + 32 = −291.1 °F
The article states −290.2 °F, which is ~0.9 °F too warm. The value −290.2 °F corresponds to −179.0 °C (= 94.15 K), not to the stated 93.7 K / −179.5 °C.
