There are two types of air temperature measurements on aircraft, Ram Air Temperature and Static Air Temperature. (slower aircraft don't normally have RAT gages) Ram Air Temperature, sometimes known as Total Air Temperature, is the air temperature outside the aircraft increased by the heat resulting from the compressibility of the air. The faster the aircraft, the more the rise in the temperature. Static Air Temperature, also known as Outside Air Temperature, is a temperature reading corrected for the compressibility rise to give a true outside air temperature which is used in all sorts of calculations relating to engine performance, aircraft speed, etc.

Purpose of aircraft temperature gauge?
The average aircraft will have temperature gauges for the following: Outside air temperature, Engine air inlet temperature, Engine exhaust temperature, cabin temperature, and that's just on a small aircraft. So which temperature gauge do you mean?
Is the air pressure of a aircraft the same as the air pressure outside above and below?
An aircraft don't have air pressure.Why you ask?Because an aircraft is not a living thing.Who writes these questions?
Does the ventilation system on aircraft take air from outside?
Yes, actually most comes from the outside, the rest comes from within the aircraft.
What outside temperature will cause air to flow out of a building?
Air will flow out of a building when the outside temperature is warmer.
What Happens if a Plane Goes Higher Than it's Designed To?
As the air pressure outside the aircraft decreases, & the air pressure inside the aircraft remains the same, it remains very high inside the aircraft in comparison to the outside, so in the end, the fuselage will explode apart, because the air pressure outside is not enough to counter act it & push against the force of the air pressure inside the aircraft which is pushing outwards.
Why is temperature outside is minus 30 when you fly in aircraft at the height of 10000 feet?
lalalala
How do you measure outside air temperature?
thermoneter
How do you check ambiant temperature?
ambient air temperature is the temperature of your surrounding air. if you stand outside with a thermometer, and it reads 64 degrees, that is ambient temperature.
Does the temperature of the tennis ball affect the air?
The temperature of the ball does not affect the surrounding/outside air, but it does affect the air inside the ball.
When is condensation seen outside?
I think your referring to Dew point. When the outside temperature is cool enough for moisture in the air to condense on the ground. That has to do with humidity and ambient air temperature
What is the air temperature in the checked-in luggage bay in a commercial aircraft?
24.3 degrees C
What is a cave's temperature?
Normally the air temperature in a cave, well away from the nearest entrance, is the mean annual air temperature outside the cave.
