I usually use a cheese thermometer. They are very accurate.
The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance boils. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. You have to have an accurate thermometer to measure boiling point.
There's actually no need to measure the temperature boiling water. If water is boiling, it will always be 100°. This is because boiling is a cooling process. As you apply heat, water molecules who want to boil, breaking free and enter the gaseous phase. When this happens, they take some of the energy that you imported into the liquid with them. Thus once the liquid reaches the boiling temperature water will continue to evaporate until there is no more water left. During this time, it will remain 100°.
That depends on how hot the water is in the cup. Use the thermometer to measure it and see.
You can measure the temperature of water using a thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the water and wait a few seconds for the reading to stabilize. The temperature displayed on the thermometer is the temperature of the water.
A single water molecule doesn't have a boiling point because boiling point is a bulk property that involves interactions between many molecules. It is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric pressure.
No.
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
Canadians typically use the Celsius scale to measure temperature. This scale is based on water's freezing point at 0 degrees and boiling point at 100 degrees.

Yes, a thermometer can record the temperature of a boiling pot. By placing the thermometer in the liquid or steam coming from the pot, it can measure the temperature accurately. Be sure to use a thermometer that is designed to measure high temperatures.
That will depend on the temperature scale (eg Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Celsius etc.) you are wishing to use to measure it and the substance who's boiling point you are trying to ascertain (eg boiling point of Oxygen or the boiling point of Iron or the boiling point of Water etc.). Water's boiling point is at 100° C, 373.15° K, and 212° F.
Scientists use the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales to measure temperature. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water at sea level, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point and 100 degrees representing the boiling point. The Fahrenheit scale is another common temperature scale that is commonly used in the United States.

A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of hot water.
It depends on how hot I want it to be. If I want regular out-of-the-tap hot water, I stick my finger in it quickly and then shout and wave my hand about when it's actually hot. If I need boiling water to be a certain temperature, I measure the temperature with a candying thermometer.
