Galileo developed the thermoscope, the first instrument to measure temperature qualitatively. It was Sanctorius Sanctorius who devised and added the scale to the thermoscope to measure the temperature quantitatively and since then has been called the thermometer.

When was the thermometer first developed?
it was actually first devloped in 1640 well that's what Sarah said and shes a nerd
What did the first thermometer look like?
it looked like a modern thermometer
When was the first thermometer invented?
In 1612 the inventor Santorio Santorio became the first to put a scale on his thermometer. It was perhaps the first crude clinical thermometer as it was designed to be placed in a patients mouth for temperature taking
Who invented the modern-day thermometer?
Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
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.

Did Gabriel Fahrenheit invent the mercury thermometer in 1709?
Gabriel Fahrenheit did invent the mercury thermometer but it was in 1714. In 1709, he invented the alcohol thermometer. He also developed the Fahrenheit temperature scale which was introduced in 1724.
