Why is it necessary to use special instruments to measure the temperature of the atmosphere in the thermosphere layer?

The thermosphere is the last layer of the atmosphere. Special instruments are needed to measure its temperature because there are very few particles in the thermosphere that would strike a conventional thermometer to heat it.


Why did Santorio Santorio invent thermometer?

Santorio wasn't the one who invented the thermometer. GALILEO GALILEI was the one who invented the Galileo thermometer and was use by the Santorio in 1612.[I HOPE THIS HELPS BECAUSE I AM DOING A RESEARCH PROJECT ON GALILEO] :]


When was Galileo thermometer invented?

The Galileo thermometer was invented around 1593 by Galileo Galilei, the Italian physicist, mathematician, and astronomer. It is a simple device that uses the principle of buoyancy to measure temperature changes.


When thermometer is placed in direct sunlight will it read the temperature of air or sun or something else?

When a thermometer is placed in direct sunlight, it will not accurately read the air temperature. Instead, it will measure the temperature of the thermometer itself, which can be influenced by the direct heat from the sun. This can cause the thermometer to show a higher reading than the actual air temperature. Ideally, thermometers should be shielded from direct sunlight to provide an accurate measure of air temperature.


Who invented the water themometer in 1593?

Galileo Galilei is credited with inventing the water thermometer in 1593. It was an early form of a thermometer that used the expansion of water to measure temperature changes.

Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?

You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.
