If thermometer is placed in sun light then which thing it will read the temperature of air or of sun or surrounding?
A thermometer placed in sunlight will measure the temperature of the air surrounding it, not the temperature of the sun itself. The sun's rays can heat up the air, which in turn affects the temperature measured by the thermometer.
Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.
What happens when a thermometer is left in sunlight?
When a thermometer is left in sunlight, it can absorb heat and give a falsely high temperature reading due to radiant energy from the sun. It's important to shield the thermometer from direct sunlight to get an accurate temperature measurement.
What is a Nuremberg Sun dial?
a protable sun dial
When thermometer is laid ouside the sun does it measure suns temperature or air temperature?
If a thermometer is laid out in direct sunlight, it will not measure the temperature of the air surrounding it. It will measure the temperature of the heat directly reaching it.
What was used to prove that the earth rotates?
One method that was used by the early Greeks was the Sun Dial.
Where should you put your thermometer in shade or sun?
It is best to place your thermometer in the shade to get an accurate reading of the air temperature. Direct sunlight can affect the reading by warming up the thermometer and giving a higher temperature measurement.
When was Sun Dial created?
Sun Dial was created in 1990.
What is the plural of sun-dial?
The plural is sun dials.
What was the difference between the thermometer readings in the drawer and in direct sunlight?
The thermometer readings in the drawer were typically lower than in direct sunlight. This is because objects in the drawer are shielded from direct heat and radiation from the sun, resulting in a cooler temperature reading.
What is being measured by an outdoor thermometer?
If it's in the shade, then the temperature of the air that wafts past it is. If it's in direct sun, then it's displaying the temperature of the structure of the thermometer itself, as it absorbs direct solar radiation and its temperature rises above that of the air that wafts past it.
How Can you tell time by sun?
You can use a sun dial.
