∙ 7y agoThe liquid contained within he thermometer's tube expands with heat, or contracts with cold. This is shown by the length of liquid in the tubing.

What does a thermometer measure and how does it do it?
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles. The word temperature comes from the Greek work thermo which is heat and meter to measure.
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
How are thermometer made?
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.
How can you change a gas to a liquid using thermal energy?
You have to do like the water cycle evaporation, where a liquid changes to a gas, condensation, where a gas changes to a liquid or little droplets and precipitation where it rains.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance during a physical change of state?
it will increase or decrease depending on the states. from solid --> liquid or liquid --> gas it is positive and endothermic, and thermal energy is increasing from liquid --> solid or gas --> liquid it is negative and exothermic, and thermal energy is decreasing
How do you measure environmental temperature using a liquid in glass thermometer?
through thermal expansion

What is the measuring device for thermal energy?
You can measure thermal energy by using a thermal couple. <ZeldaTutor> or u can use a calorimeter <ZeldaTutor>
Ho does a thermometer measure temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.
How do thermometers works?
For a basic design of thermometers would base on the principle of thermal expansion, either using air in syringe expand and contract with temperature to indicate the scale or using liquid filled into capillary and mark the scale according to a standard thermometer.
How do handmade thermometers work?
For a basic design of thermometers would base on the principle of thermal expansion, either using air in syringe expand and contract with temperature to indicate the scale or using liquid filled into capillary and mark the scale according to a standard thermometer.
One common application of thermal expansion is?
Thermal expansion has been used to create many different devices including the fire sprinkler. Fire sprinklers have a bimetallic strip which will bend to one side when heated to connect to electricity and trigger the sprinkler.Ê

A measure of heat energy?
A measure of heat energy can be done easily using a thermometer. This will measure the amount of thermal energy transferred.

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.
How did Galileo invent the thermometer?
He did not actually invent the thermometer, which would have shown a scale of temperatures. He invented the "thermoscope" -- a device that showed increase or decrease of temperature using the expansion of a liquid in a tube.

You have to do like the water cycle evaporation, where a liquid changes to a gas, condensation, where a gas changes to a liquid or little droplets and precipitation where it rains.
