A horse thermometer works exactly like a human thermometer only it is inserted into the horses rectum to take the temperature. It is attached to a cord so if the horse accidentally pulls it into the rectum (which does happen) it can be removed safely.
It depends on what kind you have.
The kink stops the mercury from falling, giving the user/reader of the thermometer time to read the highest temperature recorded. Shaking the thermometer lets the mercury fall again.
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles. The word temperature comes from the Greek work thermo which is heat and meter to measure.
The bulb is the ball where most of the liquid is concentrated.
Depends on the thermometer. If it's a weather thermometer, then you use it outside. If it's a body temperature thermometer, then you use it in the mouth or behind.
this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time

Yes, it will.

It works when the thermometer gains heat from the surroundings. When the thermometer gains heat from the surroundings, gradually Mercury expands and it points the accurate measurement of temperature.
i don't know how a thermometer works
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
You can use the recording thermometer or the mercury thermometer, either one of those will work.
The name of a class of horse used for work is a draught horse.
A veterinarian will use a rectal thermometer for most domestic species (cat, dog, horse, cow, sheep, goat, pig). This is the same type of thermometer that you can buy at any drug store or grocery for $8-20 depending on the features of the thermometer.
