it looked like a modern thermometer
The word "thermometer" has roots in English, Modern Latin, and French. The word is a combination of the French "thermometer" and the Modern Latin "thermometrum." The word "thermometer" came about in the 17th century.
The mercury thermometer was invented Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714.
Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer.

The first modern thermometer, the mercury thermometer with a standardized scale, was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714.
Galileo Galilei is credited with creating an early version of the thermometer in the late 16th century, but the first modern thermometer was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century.
The first person credited with inventing the thermometer in 1593 was Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist and astronomer. He developed a device called the thermoscope, which later evolved into the modern thermometer.
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
The invention of the barometer and the thermometer were crucial in beginning the age of modern weather forecasting. The barometer helped in measuring air pressure, while the thermometer was used to measure temperature, both essential elements in predicting weather patterns.
