In the Sahara Desert one day it was 136℉. In the Gobi Desert a temperature of 
-50℉ was recorded. What is the difference between these two temperatures?

To find the difference between the two temperatures, subtract the lower temperature from the higher temperature:

\[
136^\circ F - (-50^\circ F) = 136^\circ F + 50^\circ F = 186^\circ F
\]

The difference between the two temperatures is **186°F**.
