The temperature of the air is a measure of the degree of molecular movement of all the Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules that largely make up air. Technically, it is determined by getting the average speed of a body's molecules.

Is an air intake temperature sensor the same as an air charge temperature sensor?

No, they are not the same. An air intake temperature sensor measures the temperature of the air as it enters the engine intake, while an air charge temperature sensor measures the temperature of the air after it has been compressed by the turbocharger or supercharger.


What measures the average kinetic energy of air molecules?

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of air molecules. As the temperature increases, the molecules move faster and have higher kinetic energy.


Which weather tool measures air temperature?

A thermometer is the weather tool used to measure air temperature. It typically consists of a glass tube containing a liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, that expands or contracts based on the temperature of the surrounding air, providing a reading of the temperature.


What is a mercury filled glass tube that measures air temperature called?

A mercury-filled glass tube that measures air temperature is called a mercury thermometer.


Is a barometer used to measure temperature?

No, a barometer is used to measure air pressure, not temperature. Temperature is usually measured using a thermometer.


What does a wet bulb and a dry bulb measure?

A wet bulb measures the temperature after water evaporation allows to cool and a dry bulb measures air temperature.


What is the different between barometer and thermometer?

A barometer measures the barometric pressure of the atmosphere. This has to do with the relative humidity. The more moisture suspended in the air, the more it weighs. A weather thermometer measures the temperature of the air.


What measures the average speed of air molecules?

The temperature of a gas is related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules, which is directly proportional to their speed. Therefore, temperature indirectly measures the average speed of air molecules.
