No. The temperature of the sun cannot be measured by pyrometer. It is measured by a special device called Bolometer.

What are advantages and disadvantages of digital remote thermometer?
Temperature sensors are useful because they are digital. Since they are digital you can make graphs out of data easily. Instead of copying loads of data out you can make all the results into a table or graph in seconds, it is easier to send data, they measure to a high level of accuracy. They can measure higher ranges than normal thermometers, sometimes measuring the temperature with a thermometer may be hard because you may not be able to see exactly where the meniscus is on and you also have to get eye level to measure the temperature but with the temperature sensors you can read and the temperature will be measured to point of a degree Celsius also they aren't easily broken unlike brittle glass thermometers and you can record temperatures over long periods of time. The disadvantages are the temperature sensors are expensive, the wires to measure the temperature may get tangled also, you need to know how to use a P.C/ Tablet to record and create graphs , the screens are touch screen and are small so you may need a stylus which is easily lost, there are lots of cable to plug in to measure the temperature, if you buy one it will very quickly become out of date and a smart phone with certain accessories may be able to do the same things and more for a more reasonable price.
Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
What is the smallest mass of an object your balance is able to measure?
dust
What form of electromagnetic radiation passes through skin but not bone?
Alpha radiation, it's force is too weak to even penetrate the outer layer of dead skin. Beta and Gamma radiation can pass through, Beta has trouble passing through clothes whereas Gamma is able to go straight through the body.
What is likely to happen to a protein molecule that is exposed to intense heat or radiation?
A protein may become denatured when exposed to intense heat or radiation. When a protein becomes denatured, its basic structure is damaged enough that it is no longer able to function.
How is a thermometer able to measure air?
a barometer is used to measure the air pressure, not a thermometer! A thermometer is used to measure the temperature.
Is containment the cure the to nuclear radiation in chernobyl?
yes if we build a dome around the nuclear reactor we may be able to contain the radiation but we will not be able to clean up the radiation left over already.

Why do people working around radioactive waste in a radioactive storage facility wear badges that contain strips of photographic film?
The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.
What would it be like to live on Mercury?
it would be really hot
What is a clinical thermometer?
A clinical thermometer, this type of thermometer is sensitive to very small changes in temperature but is able to measure temperatures only within a few degrees of normal body temperature (thirty seven degrees celsius).

What does a sensor?
A sensor is used to measure data from the environment and is able to convert them into signals to be communicated with a system. Most sensors are used to measure light, temperature, touch, sound, position and magnetism. Others are used to measure speed pressure, flow or are capable of recognizing images.

How a campfire and microwave are examples of heat transfer through radiation?
Standing next to a campfire you will be warmed by its radiant heat (IR radiation).However a microwave cooker generates heat by boiling water inside the food, then the steam heats the food by a combination of conduction and convection (not radiation). There is some trivial heating of the microwave cooker's walls by IR radiation from the hot food, but this is so trivial you will not be able to measure it and the steam from the food will still condense on the cold walls (which is transfer through convection and warm them more than the IR radiation did).Note: microwave radiation is NOT thermal radiation (IR radiation) and must be transformed to become heat.
