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.
when objects are heated or cooled, their temperatures change, along with some of their properties, these properties are known as Thermometric Properties. Examples include: when objects are heated, they expand, when they are cooled, they shrink. Another is, if an object is heated, its' gaseos pressure will increase and will decrease when object is cooled.
A thermometer is an instrument that measures cold and heat, together with temperature variations.

It generally made using fluid which expand or contract linearly with temperature such as mercury, water or alcohol. Electronic thermometer use the relation of thermal property effect electrical conduction difference to measure temperature.
It is based on the pressure of a fixed mass of gas.
