Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.

When thermometer is laid ouside the sun does it measure suns temperature or air temperature?
If a thermometer is laid out in direct sunlight, it will not measure the temperature of the air surrounding it. It will measure the temperature of the heat directly reaching it.
Can you measure a woman's temperature by putting a thermometer in her vagina?
well for me as a women, i rather the rectum as a place of comfort for temperature but you know i believe it could go either way.
What would most likely be the temperature of boiling water?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Unless, of course, you are boiling it by putting it in a vacuum without air and in that case it could be any temperature.
What is the function of mercury in thermometer?
The mercury expands with temperature. Since expansion is linear over the normal range of a mercury-driven thermometer, the level of mercury within a little glass tube indicates the current temperature of the thermometer's immediate environment.

Where should a thermometer be kept?
Out of the hands of children, in a place protected from mechanical shock and away from extremes of temperature that could exceed the range of the thermometer.
When would measure the body temperature of a person?
You could use an ear thermometer or a tongue thermometer or a forehead thermometer or a rectal thermometer or even a liver probe im some situations. But to answer the question body temperature is taken whenever someone is thought to be ill as it is generally a noninvasie tool to assist diagnosis.

Effect of Trees on TemperatureSitting under the shade of a big tree on a hot summer's day and relaxing with a good book can be delightful. Yet taking a few steps out of the shade and into the sunlight can be most uncomfortable. On a hot, sunny day, find a large tree. Hold a thermometer about five feet in the air in the shade of the tree. After two or three minutes, record the temperature. Now hold the thermometer one foot from the ground, and record the temperature. Similarly, step out of the shade and into full sunlight, and record the temperature at both levels. Use a small piece of cardboard to block the direct sunlight from hitting the thermometer's bulb, which could heat it up and give a false reading higher than the actual air temperature.

What is the function of constriction in clinical thermometer?
In case of ordinary thermometer if the thermometer is taken out the body whose temperature has been seen, the Mercury would fall down as the bulb gets cooled. But in case of clinical thermometer even after the thermometer has been taken out of the mouth of the patient the level of mercury would be held at the same level though the bulb falls to the room temperature. So doctor could see the temperature liesurely. To bring back the mercury to lowest level we have to give jerks to the thermometer by shaking it.
What is the temperature from the cold water from the tap?
If you stick a thermometer under the running water, you will see for yourself. Otherwise, you could use a temperature laser gun.
Alcohol thermometers cannnot be used for measuring high temperaturewhy?
Alcohol's boiling point is fairly low. At higher pressures, a lot of pressure would build up; this could break the thermometer.Alcohol's boiling point is fairly low.
