it measures temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on which kind you purchase. The heat from whichever area you have it in heats the liquid inside causing it to expand a certain amount, raising to a mark on the glass, which tells you the temperature. Well, that's in classic thermometers. There are digital ones now that just tell you the temperature.
