Not quite; This is what the first source said about how a thermometer works;
This liquid is sometimes colored alcohol but can also be a metallic liquid called Mercury. Both mercury and alcohol grow bigger when heated and smaller when cooled. Inside the glass tube of a thermometer, the liquid has no place to go but up when the temperature is hot and down when the temperature is cold.
In other words, the thermometer goes up or down due to the expansion of the alcohol or mercury due to the heat.
After reviewing the second source, you will see that the columns go up and down due to the atmospheric pressure. If it goes up and down due to atmospheric pressure it is a manometer. A manometer does not work if it is not exposed to the atmosphere. A thermometer is sealed off to the outside.
This is another reason why a thermometer is different from a manometer.

What is bigger a manometer or seismometer?
Manometer
What is platinum thermometer?
It is a thermometer using the platinum wire as sensor (resistance thermometer); the resistance of the wire is proportional to the temperature. This type of thermometer is used under 600 0C.
What happen when mercury used in inverted manometer?
When mercury is used a manometer fluid and the manometer tube is inverted it will measure the small pressure difference in liquids. This is a tool used by scientists.
What is micro manometer pressure?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
Why the water levels in the various Manometer tubes are different?
The reason the water levels in the various manometer tubes are different is because of the difference in pressure. A manometer is used to measure the pressure between two different systems.
Types of manometer?
the most common type of manometer are u-tube type,inclined and the cistern type of manometer
What is the Procedure of well type manometer?
A manometer is used to measure pressure. A well-type manometer measures a singular height of pressure and is normally highly accurate.
What are the instruments use to measure?
Examples: thermometer, pluviometer, wind vane, anemometer, solarimeter, manometer etc.
What are the instruments used to measure climate?
Examples: thermometer, pluviometer, wind vane, anemometer, solarimeter, manometer etc.
What unit of measurement does a manometer use?
A manometer measures pressure. The units depend on the type of manometer and how it's calibrated. Units include psi, barr, Torr, atm, pascals, and kilopascals.
What are the types of manometer?
simple manometer differential manometer inclined manometer
What is a two liquid well type manometer?
What is a two liquid well type manometer is one of the three main types of manometers. This type is best applied to reading scales that are properly calibrated and in the right units.
How does gas thermometer functioning?
A gas thermometer measures temperature by the variation in volume or pressure of a gas.One common apparatus is a constant volume thermometer. It consists of a bulb connected by a capillary tube to a manometer. The bulb is filled with a gas such that the volume of the gas in the bulb remains constant. The volume is related to temperature by k, known as Charles's Law . The pressure of the gas in the bulb can be obtained by measuring the level difference in the two arms of the manometer. Gas thermometers are often used to calibrate other thermometers.

Manometer
How do you build a manometer?

How do you set up manometer?
by setting up a manometer
What is an open arm manometer?
It is a type of manometer, an object used to measure the pressure of different things, and the open armed manometer allows for the atmospheric pressure in the tube of the manometer. So the sample gas pressure pushes on the mercury that is already being pushed on by the atmospheric pressure. Then you add the atmospheric pressure to the change in the mercury (in mm) and that gives you your pressure. It's like a tire gauge.
