I believe that would mean that the air is completely saturated with moisture-- 100% humidity.

What does it mean when the two thermometers read nearly the same on a psychrometer?
It means that the relative humidity is high, because very little evaporation is taking place from the wet bulb.
Why don't thermometers read down to -300 degrees Celsius?
Well, first of all, absolute zero, the point at which there is no thermal energy is at -273 degrees Celsius, so nothing could ever get to -300 C. Also, the mercury in the thermometer would freeze long before absolute zero, and it is unlikely that a standard thermometer would ever be used below its minimum measurement. If temperature measurement was needed below the minimum measurement of a thermometer, specialized scientific thermometers are available.
Why we cannot you use your hand to measure temperature?
You cannot use laboratory thermometer to measure human body temp because of its markings. It is designed to measure large scale temperatures and therefore it may be hard to read the exact bocy temperature.
How do you read a weather map and its symbols?
you can read it by looking for the low and high pressure
How did the US settle its conflict with great Britain over Canada and why was resolving the conflict important to both nations?
they did something that i dont know of cause i didnt read anything Well than maybe u should have listened in ur class!
What are two types of thermometer?
The two types of thermometers are the total immersion and partial immersion thermometers. However, they both read temperature the same way!
Why do scientists use thermometers?
To read temperature...
Do thermometers that are facing south read higher temperatures?
No
What temperatures do digital candy thermometers read ?
These thermometers need to be able to read super high temperatures. On average they will range from -40 all the way to 450 degrees F, You can also use an oil thermometer instead of a candy thermometer sine the temperatures needed for both can be very high.
What are Advantages of digital thermometers?
You can read the temp a lot easier.
Do all thermometers read the same?
No some read the temperature as Celsius, some as Fahrenheit, some as Kalvin
Why is Mercury used in thermometers instead of alcohol?
Mercury thermometers have advantages over alcohol thermometers. The liquid is visible making the results easy to read. It expands at a regular interval. It measures temperature quickly and accurately.
Which of the temperature that Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
-40c (apex)
What temperature Fahrenheit and celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
negative 40 degrees
What is the temperature that Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
At a temperature of -40 (minus forty) degrees, the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales read the same number.
For thermometers to read temperature correctly they must be?
Calibrated
Why do you flick thermometers before using them?
This is only in the case of of clinical thermometers, which usually have mercury inside them. These thermometers have a constriction just after the bulbthat allows the mercury to flow due to the pressure of expansion and contraction but is thin enough not to allow the mercury back into the bulb, to allow people to read the thermometer without having to hurry. people flick the thermometers to force the mercury back into the bulb so that temperature can be taken again.
