How does the rotary thermometer work?

God knows. if u al don know that .


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.

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.)
