Why is it More difficult to measure the temperature of a solid than a liquid?

You can insert a thermometer directly into a liquid, but not into a solid. You can fairly easily measure the surface temperature of a solid object, but that does not necessarily reflect the temperature inside.

Is carbon a gas liquid or solid?
At room temperature, carbon is a solid.
Is carbon gas solid liquid?
Carbon is a solid at room temperature.
Does a milliliter measure a solid or liquid?
Milliliters and liters are units of volume.
Do liquid molecules have more energy than solid molecules?
They have more kinetic energy so they have a higher temperature, assuming the liquid and solid molecules are the same molecule. When you heat up something solid (like ice), you add energy, and the molecules move more quickly and separate, turning into a liquid (like water) and then a gas.
What solid can be in a liquid?
Any solid can be placed in a liquid. If the solid is less dense then it will float. If it is not soluble and its melting temperature is higher than the temperature of the liquid it will remain solid and not become part of a mixture. any solid can be converted into liquid except those which becomes sublimed.

How a thermometer is used?
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature, or the temperature within a solid or liquid.
What can change the solubility of a solid in a liquid?
temperature. The higher the temperature of the liquid, the more of the solid you can dissolve in it.
Is calcium a liquid a solid or a gas?
Yes, at room temperature and pressure calcium is a solid.
What is sucrose solid or liquid at room temperature?
Sucrose can be both solid or liquid. At room temperature, however, it's a solid.
What factor can change the solubility of a solid in a liquid?
temperature. The higher the temperature of the liquid, the more of the solid you can dissolve in it.
What is melting or boiling point?
The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes phases into a liquid. This is a result of the highly structured atoms of the solid, which have very little kinetic energy beginning to gain energy and dissociate. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. This happens when the atoms/molecules of a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to escape the liquid and move into the gaseous state.
Is metal solid?
It depends on the temperature. For instance, Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Gold is solid at room temperature.
What is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid is its what point?
The temperature at which a pure solid changes to a liquid is the substance's melting point.
What solid turns into liquid?
Any liquid can turn into a solid at the correct temperature.
Is calcium a solid a liquid or a gas at room temperature?
Calcium is a solid in room temperature
A room temperature is titanium a gas liquid or solid?
Titanium is a solid at room temperature.
