there are little glass bubbles filled with a colored liquid, usually food coloring and water oe coloured ethenol. each little bubble has a weight attached with the temperature engraved into it. all these bubbles are about the same density as water, and as the temperature changes, the bubbles float and sink. the bubble that sinks to the bottom is the current temperature.

At the age of 31, Galileo and his associates invented the thermometer because no instrument existed to measure temperature. Galileo's thermometer consisted of water in a glass bulb. The level of the water in the bulb changed according to the external temperature.

History does not tell us what the motivation was behind Galileo's invention of a thermometer. It is not unusual for a scientist to observe some regularity in nature and then to see if it can be quantified, but to say more than that in this case would be speculative.
