To increase the sensitivity of the thermometer, that is, for the thermometer to respond quickly to small changes in temperature.
The difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the liquid in the thermometer bulb and the material of the bulb.
The sensitivity of an instrument is the smallest amount it can measure, of whatever it's built to measure.Anything smaller than the sensitivity of the instrument, and the instrument doesn't even notice it.For example, a laboratory scale can measure the weight of a hair, but a truck scale can't. We say that thelaboratory scale's sensitivity is much smaller (or lower) than the truck scale's sensitivity.
it also increases
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.

Sensitivity of a thermometer is the length of increase of the liquid per degree rise in temperature. More sensitive means more noticeable expansion. So if you want to increase the sensitivity, you could have a thinner capillary tube, a larger thermometer bulb etc. :)sailesh

it gets hotter
Because Mercury expands in heat, it is more accurate than other elements used in thermometers.

Alcohol can increase insulin sensitivity because it can affect the way that the pancreas works. Over time, too much alcohol can keep the pancreas from working at all, leading to diabetes.
Depending on the intensity of the light the thermometer should indicate an increase in temperature.
These are corrugated to increase the sensitivity of the pressure gauge.
