One way of checking to see if a thermometer is working properly is to get a second one and see if the temperatures match.
Another method thing you can do is put it in your mouth, and it should read around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit 37 degrees Celsius.

What measures the temperature of the liquid?
A thermometer will measure the temperature of a liquid.
How do thermometers with in liquid in glass measure temperature?
Such thermometers are based on the fact that the liquid expands when the temperature increases. That's what the thermometers measure.
How a thermometer is used?
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature, or the temperature within a solid or liquid.
Why is it more difficult to measure temperature of a solid than a liquid?
You can insert a thermometer directly into a liquid, but not into a solid. You can fairly easily measure the surface temperature of a solid object, but that does not necessarily reflect the temperature inside.

If you heat a liquid and a measure the temperature at which it boils you are measuring a?
You're measuring the boiling point of the liquid.
What features do a liquid thermometer and a lab have in common?
they both measure temperature
What are two scales to measure the temperature of liquid?
Kelvin and celsius scale
How do you measure coconut correctly?
The answer depends on what you want to measure: its mass, length, "equatorial" circumference, volume, density, temperature, conductivity, ...
How does the thermometer used to measure air temperature differ from the thermometer used to take your temperature?
A thermometer used to measure air temperature uses a glass tube filled with a liquid either alcohol or mercury. When the temperature increases the particles of liquid expand, filling the glass tub. Thermometers that are used to measure you body temperature uses infrared sensors.
Explain what temperature is and how thermometer measure it?
Temperature is the measure of thermal energy. And how you measure thermometers is that if the liquid expands when its temperature increases. The height of a column of the liquid inside the tube shows the temperature.
Ho does a thermometer measure temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.
