The temperature of the CMBR today is approximately ____
A
3000K
B
3K
C
10^10K
D
10^28K
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -3K Background Radiation Currently it is commonly called the Cosmic Microwave Background or just CMB, alluding to its Wien peak in the microwave region. It shows the wavelength dependence of a “blackbody” radiator at about 3 Kelvins temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Planck’s predecessors (NASA’s COBE and WMAP missions) measured the temperature of the CMB to be 2.726 Kelvin (approximately-270 degrees Celsius) almost everywhere on the sky.

Detailed explanation-3: -The CMB has a thermal black body spectrum at a temperature of 2.72548±0.00057 K.
