When temperature goes up the liquid expands. The liquid then takes up more space and you see this as a rise in scale on the thermometer. The same applies vise versa

What is the liquid in a Galileo thermometer and how does it work?

The liquid in a Galileo thermometer is usually a clear alcohol or water-based solution. The thermometer works based on the principle of buoyancy, where the density of the liquid changes with temperature. As the temperature changes, the liquid expands or contracts, causing the glass spheres with different densities to rise or sink, indicating the temperature.


How does a liquid thermometer and an air thermometer work?

Liquid thermometers use the expansion and contraction of a liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, in response to temperature changes to measure temperature. As the temperature increases, the liquid expands and rises up the tube. Air thermometers work by measuring the expansion or contraction of a gas, usually air, in response to temperature changes. The gas inside the thermometer expands when heated, causing the liquid in the tube to rise, and contracts when cooled, causing the liquid to fall.

How does a fluid expansion thermometer work?

A fluid expansion thermometer consists of a bulb filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, connected to a capillary tube. As the temperature increases, the liquid in the bulb expands and rises up the capillary tube. The temperature is read by measuring the height of the liquid in the tube, which corresponds to the temperature scale on the thermometer.


How does a thermometer work upside down?

A thermometer works the same way whether it is upright or upside down. The liquid inside the thermometer expands and contracts based on the surrounding temperature, causing the level of the liquid to rise and fall on the scale. This movement indicates the temperature being measured.
