Why are gas thermometers more sensitive than liquid thermometers?

bc gas is easily compressed so it would have a more versitile range of measurement at least in our atmoshperic conditions. liquid not so easily compressed so very little pressure via mass w/gravity or heat would cause it to quickly jump between changes.

Are your feet more sensitive then your hands?
False. There are more sensitive touch receptors on the tip of your finger than on your back
Why is the boiling point more sensitive to pressure than the melting point?
The boiling point is more sensitive to pressure than the melting point due to the fluidity of liquid. Liquids move around more when pressure is placed on them, as they're already moving around naturally without the extra pressure.
Is liquid more condensed than gas?
yes, the atoms are more compressed in liquid than gas
Is the tongue more sensitive than the fingertips?
They are 100 times more sensitve than your fingertips!
Why there is more bacteria growth in liquid vs solid medium?
it is more on liquid because moist attracts more microorganisms than on dry surfaces it is more on liquid because moist attracts more microorganisms than on dry surfaces
Which liquid is used in thermometers along with mercury?
What is the new liquid used in athermometer than mercury?
Why Mercury thermometer is used domestically and alcoholic thermometer in lab?
Alcoholic thermometers are more accurate than mercury thermometers
Are electronic thermometers more reliable than a standard thermometer?
Electronic thermometers and standard thermometers are equally accurate. In terms of reliability, the standard thermometer wins. Why? Because it doesn't have any batteries to go dead.
What are thermometers filled with besides mercury?
Most inexpensive thermometers are filled with a colored mix of alcohol and water, rather than mercury, which is hazardous and has become more expensive.

What is the advantage and disadvantage of using water in a thermometer?
Thermometers are devices which can be used to measure the body temperature. The body temperature is an important health indicator, and to assess it properly the core temperature must be measured. The best way to this is through a rectal or aural measurement - these require specific thermometers. Aural measurements are most common in professional settings because of their reliability and ease of use, though a rectal measurement is still the most accurate. Nowadays most thermometers are electric, for greater accuracy and safety. Mercury thermometers are no longer used in medical applications, due to the toxicity of mercury, and many countries have banned the classic mercury-in-glass thermometers from such purposes.
Rods are less light sensative and more color sensitive than are cones?
Rods are more light-sensitive and less color-sensitive than are cones.
Advantage using water in a manometer?
