Why is alcohol used in thermometers?
AnswerAlcohol can be used in some thermometers due the fact of its very low freezing point. It may be used in cold atmospheres such as freezers. It however would not be suitable in vey hot atmostpheres due to the boiling point. because of it's very low freezing point
Compare the expansion of mercury with alcohol?
Mercury expands more evenly than alcohol. This is why thermometers that contain mercury are more accurate than those that contain alcohol. However, alcohol freezes at a temperature much lower than mercury, so it is better used in thermometers in extreme cold conditions.
How cold is - 200 degrees Celsius?
Extremely cold, -328 ℉
What climate is Neptune?
Cold its 153 degrees Celsius
What is a psychrotroph?
They are organisms that live in extremely cold environments.
Who created the liquid in glass thermometer?
The two most common liquids used in glass thermometers are mercury and alcohol, both of which were created by M. Nature. Alcohol thermometers are, or were, used in extremely cold areas like the Yukon, where the temperature could be expected to drop lower than -40 in the winter (-40 is where mercury freezes, and it is also the only temperature that is exactly the same on both Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers).

Which is better mercury or alcohol thermometers for low temperature measurements?
alcohol is best for both hot and cold (only in water) mercury is best for fire temps

Why are alcohol thermometers preferred in cold countries?
Mercury is used for determining higher temperature for its accuracy. Alcohol is used for measuring comparatively low temperature as it has a lower freezing point.
What are the weather conditions in the polar regions?
Extremely cold temperatures as result of little solar radiation.
Is there any place tornadoes don't happen?
Yes. Tornadoes do not occur in extremely cold regions such as Antarctica.

What kind of deserts do jackrabbits live in?
Jackrabbits live in nearly all deserts - hot tropical, cold winter, etc. They do not live in extremely hot and dry deserts that lack vegetation nor are they found in extremely cold regions.
How are the polar regions alike?
Both north and south polar regions are extremely cold. Both experience some period -- above their respective circles of latitude -- of no sunrise/ sunset every year.
Where are the temperate regions?
In geography the temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles. These regions have a summer and winter that are generally relatively moderate, rather than extremely hot or cold.
Why mountain regions are very cold?
no.all the mountain regions will not be cold
