Galileo invented an air thermometer in about 1600, but changes in atmospheric pressure made accurate measurement difficult. Liquids were quickly used instead and Gabriel Fahrenheit was the first to use alcohol (1709) and Mercury (1714), in a thermometer.

What is a digital thermometer and is it made up of?
mercury
Why does mercury level goes down for a very short time when a mercury-in glass thermometer is placed in hot water?
The exterior of the bulb of the thermometer expands first, resulting in the mercury level to go down. After that the mercury in the bulb expands more than the glass bulb, resulting in the subsequent rise of the mercury level.
What element is found in a thermometer?
Mercury :)

How are thermometer made?
It generally made using fluid which expand or contract linearly with temperature such as mercury, water or alcohol. Electronic thermometer use the relation of thermal property effect electrical conduction difference to measure temperature.
