What was the difference between the thermometer readings in the drawer and in direct sunlight?
The temperature of the thermometer in the direct sunlight was higher than the thermometer in the drawer.
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.
How is digital thermometer is better than conventional thermometers?
Digital thermometers have the advantage that they are simpler to read and the electrical components used to make them are cheap, accurate, and reliable. An analog thermometer may have ambiguity when you read it because of angle of viewing, difficulty seeing, or many other things while a digital thermometer clearly outputs a single unambiguous number.
Why Mercury thermometer is used domestically and alcoholic thermometer in lab?
Alcoholic thermometers are more accurate than mercury thermometers
Difference between clinical and a laboratory thermometer?
A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature.

What is the difference between a chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer?
A chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer differ from each other by its size and sturdiness. The chocolate thermometer are much bigger than the regular thermometer so that it can withstand the extreme heat. The normal thermometer can withstand less heat than the other one.
What are the advantages of a datalogger over an analog or simpler device?
its cheaper and it has a longer life expectancy
Is a higher resolution on a thermometer better?
nope.
Who invented a Water thermometer?
it was more than one person who invented this thermometer
How did the thermometer make life better?
yes, indeed thermometer makes life better. if there was no thermometer people would not know about the temperature varying in their body and if they had fever they would not be able to know and cure it. hen of course it would lead to deaths.therefore without thermometer there would have been thousands of deaths. there are different types of thermometer not only for body temperature but also for the surroundings.
Would the temperature change on a thermometer if you hold it by the thermometer bulb?
Yes as your fingers are warmer than the air surrounding the thermometer bulb.

The temperature of the thermometer in the direct sunlight was higher than the thermometer in the drawer.
Why is it better to use a thermometer rather than your sense of touch?
It is better to use a thermometer rather than your sense of touch because everyone's sense of touch is different, and the amount of heat you feel can only be felt to a certain point before you pull your hand away from the object being too hot or cold. In addition, your sense of touch is very inaccurate, because you cannot measure on a specific unit scale, but only on a hot-or-cold scale. When using a thermometer, it can measure specific degrees, and will be precise, accurate, and correct every time you use a functioning thermometer.
Do I need a special chocolate thermometer or can I use my regular candy thermometer?
A regular candy thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of chocolate. The truth is you would be better off using a chocolate thermometer because it may be a little more accurate.
