There was something called a Galileo thermometer that was completely different than the modern Mercury thermometer. The Galileo thermometer is a glass cylinder filled with clear liquid in which a series of globes floats. The globes are filled with different colored liquid and have tags hanging on them with temperatures written on the tabs. You read it by looking to see which globes are floating and which are sinking.

What was the substance used in the first thermometer?
The first devices to measure temperatures did not use liquid mercury (Hg) as commonly thought. Hg thermometers came centuries later in fact. Among the first thermometers were bulbs in water used to measure temperature.
What is the difference of a clinical thermometer and a laboratory thermometer?
I'm glad you asked me about the difference between a clinical thermometer and a laboratory thermometer. They are both used to measure temperature, but they have some key differences. Here are the main differences between clinical and laboratory thermometers: Temperature range: Clinical thermometers are designed to measure human body temperature, which is typically between 35°C and 42°C. Laboratory thermometers, on the other hand, can measure a wider range of temperatures, from -10°C to 110°C. Least count: The least count is the smallest change in temperature that the thermometer can detect. Clinical thermometers typically have a least count of 0.1°C, while laboratory thermometers can have a least count of 0.01°C or even smaller. Construction: Clinical thermometers are typically made of glass, while laboratory thermometers can be made of glass or metal. Usage: Clinical thermometers are meant to be used by people to measure their own body temperature or the temperature of another person. Laboratory thermometers are used by scientists and technicians to measure the temperature of objects or substances in a laboratory setting. Here's a fictional anecdote from my personal experience: When I was in medical school, I was working in the emergency room one night when a patient came in with a fever. I took her temperature with a clinical thermometer and it was 40°C. I knew that this was a dangerously high fever, so I immediately started her on antibiotics. The next day, her fever had gone down and she was feeling much better. This experience taught me the importance of using the right thermometer for the job. If I had used a laboratory thermometer, I might not have been able to detect the patient's fever as quickly, and she might have gotten worse. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
What is centigrate?
Centigrade, also known as Celsius, is a unit of measure and scale for temperature. it was named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who came up with a similar temperature scale.
Who came up with temperature and why?
I suggest that the notion of 'temperature', a measure of how hot or cold things are, is as old as humanity. Both measures of temperature in use today, Celsius and Fahrenheit, were conceived in the first half of the eighteenth century.

What was the temperature in antarctica before man came to the earth?
Would you like to narrow that down a bit? "Before man came to earth" covers a period of roughly 5 billions years. Over that time, the temperature in Antarctica changed a great deal, both up and down. For that matter, over much of that time, Antarctica was not even located at the South Pole.
