When did Galileo make the thermometer?
Galileo made the thermometer in 1593.
How do you increase the range of a thermometer?
If you're the one designing the thermometer, you could make it longer or make the bore wider. If you've got an existing thermometer, there's not much you can do.
Who was the first person to make the thermometer in 1593?
Galileo Galilei made a water thermometer in 1593.
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.
Where did Galileo make the thermometer?
Probably in Italy
What is thermometer clamp?
The clamp holds the thermometer up right at the right hight. the bottom of the thermometer shouldn't be touching the bottom of the beaker or what ever it is. make sure the clamp his holding the very top of the thermometer so you can see the numbers.

What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of using alcohol in thermometer?
u don't have to flick the thermometer to reset the temperature reading when you use an alcohol based thermometer (unlike a mercury thermometer where you have to flick and flick and flick flick flick that thermometer for the mercury to be reset so that you can make an accurate reading) a disadvantage is that the alcohol thermometer is slightly less acurate The biggest advantage is that alcohol is not nearly as toxic as mercury, so that if the thermometer breaks, you won't be poisoned.
What make's a good thermometer?
All we ask of a thermometer is to be accurate in measuring temperature. Although different kinds of thermometers can be used for different temperature ranges.
What instrument if any is used to make your temperature observation?
the answer to this question is thermometer.
