Heat is transferred thru the glass of the thermometer to or from the liquid (Mercury) inside. The heat causes the liquid to either expand (hot) or contract. Since the large bulb end contains most of the liquid, but grass doesn't expand as much as the liquid, the expanding liquid forces itself up (if hot) into the narrow tube, which indicated the temperature.
On the molecular level, particles outside the thermometer have a certain kinetic energy (KR) and the particles inside the thermometer also have a certain KE probably a different amount or they are already at the same temperature. Particles (either molecules or atoms) when in either the solid or liquid state, are constantly in motion (for solids, they just vibrate about a fixed, central position. Collision of the particles outside the thermometer and the thermometer itself cause exchange of some KE until the average KE of the outside particles is equal to the average KE of those in the thermometer. When this occurrs they are at the same temp. This change in KE of the particles in the thermometer causes more motion, and this extra motion causes what we call expansion. All molecules in the thermometer are pushing against each other with more force (KE).

You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
A thermometer which utilizes a gas(vapor) to react to temperature changes for an accurate reading. (Instead of a hazardous material such as a mercury filled thermometer.)
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.

No a barometer does a thermometer measures temperature

a barometer is used to measure the air pressure, not a thermometer! A thermometer is used to measure the temperature.
You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.

it helped keep food fresh
because the heat is to hot.
An accurate thermometer is independent of race. Being Asian, or of any other ethnic background does not affect the accuracy of a thermometer, or any other instrument.
