A thermos would measure the net molecular motion, which is translated into heat. How hot something is. How cold something is is all relative to our sense of touch.
you tell me if you fill a thermos with hot soup or Hot Chocolate put the lid on and then touch it is it hot or cold. odds are it is warm so it is hard to say. but the thermos is an insulator

If you look inside of a thermos you will see metal. This absorbs the heat or the cold and keeps it that way for as long as the contents are in the thermos.
A thermos will generally keep either a hot item hot or a cold item cold. you can use them for things like cold drinks, soup, hot chocolate, or pretty much any liquid you want to keep the same temperature.
IT is called temperature. YOUR WELCOME ON YOUR HOMEWORK =O :)
Long Johns for pants thermos but I dont know what the shirts are called.
Temperature measures how hot or cold something is. It is a physical quantity that expresses the degree of hotness or coldness of a substance. It is typically measured using a thermometer in units such as degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
A vacuum is the answer.
Yes, it can also keep things cold.
A thermos keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold by using a vacuum layer between two walls of the container. This vacuum layer prevents heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. The result is that hot drinks stay hot because heat loss is minimized, and cold drinks stay cold because heat gain is minimized.
To keep a thermos hot, pre-heat the thermos with boiling water before adding the hot liquid. For cold beverages, pre-chill the thermos with cold water or ice cubes. Keep the lid tightly closed to maintain the temperature inside.
The insulation of a thermos slows the transfer of heat into or out of it. So if there is a hot liquid inside, it cools down more slowly, and if there is a cold liquid inside, it warms up more slowly.
