I don't think any substance is used in digital thermometer but according to my views "HEAT SENSORS" are used to measure the temperature.

Mercury, like the planet
Explain how a barometer and a thermometer are alike?
A thermometer and a barometer are alike, because a thermometer tells temperature, and a barometer tells air pressure. They sort off connect, because when you have lower air pressure, you get colder temperatures and when you have higher air pressure, you know then that the temperature will be hotter. You can kinda tell by looking at only one piece of data, what the other piece might be. I'm pretty sure that's right, I'm only in 7th grade.
If your doctor tells you that your temperature is 310 k should you worry?
Yes, 103 is not good. 310 you would be dead.
Is the temperature the same as the climate?
no, it is not. they are two very different things. temperature is the speed or activeness in which the molecules in a substance are engaged in, while the climate describes what type of a place it is. like humid continental or just plainly dry but rains often. weather is current climate and tells you how it is in a short amount of time while the climate will usually stay that way for a very long time, due to its lack of being disturbed by external forces, and its location.
What tells us how close air is to saturation?
The name for this is relative humidity.It is most often measured by a "wet and dry thermometer". This is just two thermometers, one of which is kept wet by a cloth wick dipping into a small pot of water. The other is, well, dry. The dry one indicates the air temperature. The wet one shows the same temperature minus the cooling effect of the water evaporating around the wet bulb. The higher the relative humidity, the less the evaporation and the smaller the difference in temperature. These thermometers are sold witha set of tables that calculate the R.H. from the two temperatures.

What tells temperature?
a thermometer...
How did thermometer help people?
it tells you your temperature
What is the purpose of a mercury thermometer?
to see what is the temperature The Mercury expands or contracts depending on the temperature so its height against the scale on the thermometer tells you the temperature.

How does a thermometer keep your home at a constant temperature?
It doesn't A thermometer doesn't keep your home at a certain temp. a thermometer tells the temp. of a place.
What are the uses of a normal thermometer?
It tells you the temperature (greenhouse; engine; person; etc.).
What is a food probe?
A food probe is like a food thermometer, which tells you the temperature of a food product
What does a thermometer actually measure?
it measures temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on which kind you purchase. The heat from whichever area you have it in heats the liquid inside causing it to expand a certain amount, raising to a mark on the glass, which tells you the temperature. Well, that's in classic thermometers. There are digital ones now that just tell you the temperature.
In the formula CO2 the subscript letter tells you the of the substance at room temperature?
State
How is temperature is measured?
Temperature is usually measured with a thermometer which tells you how many degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit the temperature is (Fahrenheit is the American measure and Celsius is what everyone else uses)
