Temperature is the average amount of energy of motion of each molecule of a substance gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high

Why would an ordinary thermometer show a low temperature in the thermosphere?
Individual molecules of gas might be very hot, but there are too few of them to affect a thermometer much. Then the energy lost through black body radiation is more than the energy gained from the few molecules around it, making the thermometer temperature decrease until the lower equilibrium temperature is reached.
A digital thermometer sHow is the temperature as 21.2 C The thermometer is precise to the nearest?
0.01
What would happen if a wet bulb had the same temperature as a dry bulb?
That means that there is 100% humidity. Normally evaporation from the wet bulb keeps its temperature lower than the dry bulb. At 100% humidity, there would be no evaporation, so they would show the same temperature.
How do you Change Celsius to Fahrenheit on cvs instant ear thermometer?
While the thermometer is OFF press and hold for 5 seconds the "START" button, it will show the --- °C on the display, now press and release the "START" button one time and it will show --- °F. Let the display turn off and it should be on Fahrenheit when you turn the thermometer back on. Hope this helps some people out.
Which of these would best show how the average daily temperature rises and falls over the course of a month?

What is a device used to show the temperature?
Thermometer
What type of information does a thermometer show?
temperature

0.01
What happens when we left thermometer in the fridge?
Nothing will happen, except the thermometer will show the fridge's interior temperature.
What is measuring lag of thermometer?
When the temperature changes, how long it takes for the thermometer to catch up and show the correct value.
what tools show how air temperature affects the rate of evaporation of water?
thermometer
Why do many thermometers use liquid?
A solid substance in a Thermometer would only show the temperature at it's melting point up to its gas point. they use a liquid so the temperature can be measured at room temperature with ease.
How do you measure refrigerator temperature?
Most refrigerators have a thermometer inside that will show the temperature. If there is not one, most stores sell refrigerator thermometers.
What happens to the temperature of a substance that is an endothermic reaction?
It will decrease as heat is removed from the environment and added to the products of the reaction.
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
