melting point of alcohol is 159 kelvin,that means it will solidify only at thistemperature. where as melting point of Mercury is 234 kelvin. after this temperature it does not remain liquid at all . hence can not be used to take the readingsin the same way.
Scientists can use a electrical resistance thermometer, The resistance varies as a function of heat. If the resistance gets higher as temperature gets higher the resistance is said to have a positive temperature coefficient. If the resistance decreases as temperature increases, it is said to have a negative coefficient. The resistance thermometer in its simplest form is a series circuit containing a battery, thermal resistance, ammeter, and current limiting resistor.
An alcohol thermometer using ethyl alcohol (perhaps with a little of a couple of other fluids with moderate boiling points and low freezing points) can perform satisfactorily down to minus 100 degrees or even lower temperatures. Mercury thermometers are out of the question as mercury freezes at a bit less than minus 40, and arctic temperatures drop well below that.
The resistance of some materials is directly proportional to the temperature. For very low temperatures resistance thermometers are used (the change in electrical conductivity)
The Units you would use to measure very low temperatures are typically Kelvins.
Most medical electronic thermometers are not calibrated to measure ambient temperatures.
GeekIsLuv says: To find the temperature of a person, inanimate object, or room. There's a myriad of reasons to measure the temperature -- to find out if you're sick, to determine the comfortability of the room you're in, et cetera.Or it can be used to find how hot or cold something is..and to ensure cooking Temperatures
because discomfort at higher temperatures requires more energy intervention than cold temperatures... to get comfortable when it's hot outside, you have to turn on the AC or use some other energy to get cool again, where if it is chilly in your home, you may (as i do) just wear a sweat shirt instead of turning up the heat that day.
Hydrogen in its liquid form is used to produce extremely low temperatures. some interesting facts about hydrogen is that ot is the most common element in the whole entire universe it also is highly flammable when it is hydrogen gas
Electronic balance
the thermometer is used to measure the temperatures.
Example: It was extremely cold yesterday.
Cryotherapy - The treatment of tissue with the use of cold temperatures
Until the advent of digital thermometers, liquid ones were used in most domestic situations: to measure the air temperature, body temperature (to check for fever), cooking temperatures, fridge temperatures (to ensure that they were cold enough).
In cold temperatures yes, once the engine is at operating temperatures or in warm temperatures no.
Kelvin (K)
A crucible is used to contain chemical compounds when heated to extremely high temperatures.
They use outer coverings to protect themselves from injuries, cold temperatures etc.
you should use milligrams its extremely light

Scientists use a thermometer to measure how cold or how hot an object is.
