All thermometers are designed to measure temperature; the alcohol thermometer is used between -15 0C and 60 0C.
Well, as an alcohol (or Mercury) thermometer warms, it gains heat and it becomes less dense due to increased molecular motion. This causes the volume of the fluid to expand, and since the thermometer tube is so narrow, a small expansion in volume translates to significant linear movement in the tube. Hope that helps.
It's usually mercury in a thermometer, and not alcohol.
But to answer the question, it's because it expands when heated, and contracts when cool. It has nowhere to go but through the thin tube behind the numbers, representing the temperature.
Alcohol expands at a constant rate when heated. As it expands, it rises up the tube on the thermometer.

it is used in green house
Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than the boiling point of water.
There are many instruments that meteorologists use to measure weather. The two most commonly used instruments are a barometer and a thermometer.
When a thermometer reaches thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the thermometer and the substance it is measuring are the same. Therefore, the thermometer is essentially measuring its own temperature.
-- Bring thermometer into room. -- Wave it around in the air of the room for a minute or two. -- Do not hold the thermometer in your hand or breathe on it. -- Wait a while for the room temperature to get through the thermometer glass. -- Look through the glass at the sliver of liquid inside the thermometer. Find the end of the liquid, and see what number is marked on the glass at the same level. That number is your room temperature.
The heat on the outside of the thermometer transfers to the glass which transfers to the alcohol making the alcohol expand making it rise
Alcohol in a thermometer rises whenever the temperature of its surrounding increases. As the temperature increases, the heat causes the alcohol to expand ever so slightly, which shows up as an increase of height of the alcohol in the tube of the thermometer.
u don't have to flick the thermometer to reset the temperature reading when you use an alcohol based thermometer (unlike a mercury thermometer where you have to flick and flick and flick flick flick that thermometer for the mercury to be reset so that you can make an accurate reading) a disadvantage is that the alcohol thermometer is slightly less acurate The biggest advantage is that alcohol is not nearly as toxic as mercury, so that if the thermometer breaks, you won't be poisoned.
it does not stick the wall of thermometer it expand regularly
Mercury and alcohol

it is alcohol to disinfect the thermometer
because it would turn to ice and alcohol wouldn't
Yes, it can and you can purchase thermometers which use alcohol.
Depends upon what is on the thermometer in the first instance. Yes, alcohol is a great solvent and will usually absorb everything that is on the thermometer - so the whole bottle will then be "contaminated." That is why it is Not a good proceedure to follow.
Alcohol is not the liquid in a candy thermometer. It is a proprietary mixture of chemicals. it is poisonous. Some of them now contain substances such as toluene.
