Why do they measure temperature in the shade?
Direct sunlight would heat the thermometer higher than the actual air temperature. A reading would be more accurate if taken in the shade, where the temperature reading would not be greatly different.
What material is used for thermometer?
Mercury is used in thermometers. The mercury is the red substance in the thermometer that rises when you put it in your mouth.
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.
Who invented the Mercury thermometer?
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer in 1714.many inventers invented there own version of the thermometer but the mercury themometer i think most likely is just a regular thermometer you put in someones mouth under there toung. The regular inventor of the thermometer that you put in your mouth is some spanish named guy called Santorio but i dont reallt know his last name
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
Where should you put your thermometer in shade or sun?
in shade, potected from wind and rain
Why is it best to take temperature readings in the shade?
A thermometer is not kept in direct sunlight because the temperature needed to be recorded by the thermometer is of the air and not the rays of the sun.
Where should a thermometer be placed to get the real temperature outside?
On a wall that faces north, which is largely in the shade. An outdoor thermometer placed anywhere that sunlight can fall directly on it will be wildly inaccurate.
Where do you put the thermometer in a terrarium?
For a single thermometer, placement should be in a central location.
What is the device that you put in your mouth if you have a cold?
thermometer

What is the correct place to put a thermometer?
You put the thermometer in what you want to get the temperature from. If you want to measure body temperature, the rectum would be the best way to get an accurate reading with an old school thermometer. There are however new thermometers which are as effective in an ear.
Why cant you put a thermometer into a bowl of slurry ice?
You can.

How do you apply make up for a dance recital?
put on a certain shade if your teacher tells you to or just put on any shade it is like regular accept brighter
Do you measure air temperature in shade or in sunlight?
Air temperature should be measured in the shade. Sunlight falling on the instrument, the thermometer, will heat up the temperature receptor through radiation, causing the reading to be incorrectly high. For greater accuracy, place thermometer inside a box-like device called a Stevenson screen. Its purpose is to provide a standardized environment in which to measure temperature, humidity, dewpoint and atmospheric pressure. This product works by preventing sunlight from hitting the receptor on the thermometer, but it still allows air to circulate in and out. This device is also known as a cotton region shelter, an instrument shelter, a thermometer shelter, a thermo-screen or a thermometer screen.
What do you do once you've put the thermometer up on ghost island?
after you put up the thermometer you have to walk around and when the thermometer is active (you'll know once it starts flashing) you walk closer into that direction (the thermometer will start to flash even more) and keep following it and you'll be right behind the ghost! I hope i helped!!
