Where does the thermometer be used at?
Depends on the thermometer. If it's a weather thermometer, then you use it outside. If it's a body temperature thermometer, then you use it in the mouth or behind.
What measures how cold or hot something is?
a Thermometer.
The use of thermometer?
the thermometer is used to measure the temperatures.
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 are the 3 types of thermometer?
The three types of thermometer are oral, rectal and tympanic. The most reliable is the rectal thermometer.
What thermometer would be used to collect data over a twenty four hour period of time?
You can use the recording thermometer or the mercury thermometer, either one of those will work.
Function of bent tube earth thermometer?
The bent tube Earth thermometer is a kind of a measurement that is used for measuring temperature of the earths crust.
Definition of earth thermometer?
it may use for measuring earth
How hot has earth gone up to?
look at a thermometer
What are the instruments used for recording the wheather?
There are many tools used in recording and forecasting the weather. For example an anemometer Anemometer, an instrument for measuring wind speed. A hygrometer is used in determining the humidity of the atmosphere. The thermometer is for measuring temperature.
What is the thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contaubs a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a thermometer, used for recording temperature.
Desirable properities in a mercury thermometer?
The two properties you would want in a mercury thermometer are accuracy and precision. Accuracy is important because you want to know that it is recording the right temperature, and precision is important because it allows you to know the exact temperature to the extent of the gradations of that thermometer. Cherry flavor would be nice too! :)
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
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.
Which nation owns the dubious distinction of recording the highest temperature on earth?
Libya
Different kinds of thermometer and their uses?
Different types of thermometer and their uses 1. liquid-in-glass thermometer: weather recording and laboratory uses. (Temperature sensor: laboratory uses.<--this may not count as one of the thermometers XD ) 2. infra-red thermometer: measuring body temperature. 3. rotary thermometer: measuring the temperature of ovens and freezers. 4. resistance thermometer: measuring temperatures from -200 degree C to 1000 degree C, e.g. engines and ovens, etc. 5. thermistor thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and electrical appliances. 6. liquid crystal thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and fish tanks. ( the color of liquid crystal changes with temperature.)
How do scientists know the surface temperature of the earth has changed over the last 2000 years?
Thermometer! Thermometers were actually around that long ago, well, not as we see them now but still it was a thermometer!
What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
