Mercury (Atomic number 80) is still used in some thermometers.
They do nothing to the weather. The liquid in them simply responds to the ambient temperature.
Mercury is a liquid. It can be found in thermometers.
Mercury is used in thermometers.
Mercury in thermometers is in a liquid state, since mercury is liquid at room temperature.
Such thermometers are based on the fact that the liquid expands when the temperature increases. That's what the thermometers measure.
For non-electronic thermometers , you will either see a red liquid or a silver liquid. The 'Red liquid' is a coloured alcohol. The 'Silver liquid' is mercury.
Liquid in glass thermometers are fragile.For precise work, they need to be recalibrated frequently.
Some thermometers use mercury, in these the liquid is silvery. Some thermometers use a red dyed alcohol solutioin.
