How does the instrument used to measure air temperature differ from the instrument used to take your temperature?
Those thermometers use liquid crystals to measure temperature. More specifically, they use chiral nematic liquid crystals--long asymmetric molecules that arrange themselves in orderly spirals in the liquid. When light strikes these spiral structures, some of it reflects. But the reflection is strongest when the light's wavelength is an integer or half integer multiple of the spiral's pitch--the distance between adjacent turns of the spiral. Since light's wavelength is related to its color, the light reflected by these liquid crystals is colored. Because the pitch of a chiral nematic liquid crystal changes with temperature, so does its color. Slightly different liquid crystals are inserted behind each number on the thermometer so that each number becomes colored at a different temperature. copied from: http://rabi.phys.Virginia.edu/HTW/thermometers_and_thermostats.html
What instrument measures temperature outside?
A thermometer measures temperature, indoor or outdoor.
What does temperature measure?
Temperature measures how fast molecules are moving or in scientific terms it measures the AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY in a system. Temperature measures how fast molecules are moving. :):)
A metal that is a liquid at room temperature?
Mercury. is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.
Is bromine a liquid solid or gas?
Bromine is a halogen which can be a gas or liquid depending on the temperature. At room temperature bromine is a liquid metal.
Ho does a thermometer measure temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.
What does a thermometer measure and how does it do it?
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles. The word temperature comes from the Greek work thermo which is heat and meter to measure.
What is the the name of the object a thin glass tubbed filled with liquid that measures temperature?
Thermometer
What is the temperature of the waters in Antarctica?
So long as the water remains liquid, the temperature measures between 27 and 32 decrees F.

An object which measures temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature.
how can the boiling point of the distillate be used to identify a substance?
This method is used whenever there is enough of the compound to perform a distillation. The distillation method of boiling point determination measures the temperature of the vapors above the liquid. Since these vapors are in equilibrium with the boiling liquid, they are the same temperature as the boiling liquid.
What does gradulated cylinder measures?
It measures the volume of a liquid
What instrument measures temperature outside?
A thermometer measures temperature, indoor or outdoor.
Does a milliliter measure a solid or liquid?
Milliliters and liters are units of volume.
Is propanone a liquid or solid at room temperature?
propanone is liquid at room temperature
How is it possible for liquid water to turn into a gas at temperatures below its boiling point?
"Temperature" measures average thermal energy - but it's statistical. Outlier atoms will have sufficient energy to break away from the liquid state.
