day	temperature at sunrise (°c)	temperature at sunset (°c)
day 2	- 8.25	29.21

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate temperature change for Day 1

The temperature change is the temperature at sunset minus the temperature at sunrise. For Day 1, the temperature at sunrise is $- 13.88^{\circ}C$ and at sunset is $17.04^{\circ}C$. So the change $\Delta T_1=17.04-(-13.88)=17.04 + 13.88=30.92^{\circ}C$.

Step2: Calculate temperature change for Day 2

For Day 2, the temperature at sunrise is $-8.25^{\circ}C$ and at sunset is $29.21^{\circ}C$. So the change $\Delta T_2=29.21-(-8.25)=29.21 + 8.25=37.46^{\circ}C$.

Step3: Compare the temperature - changes

Since $37.46>30.92$, the temperature changed more on Day 2.

Answer:

Day 1: $30.92^{\circ}C$
Day 2: $37.46^{\circ}C$
The temperature changed the most on Day 2.
