I'm sure your teacher thought he (or she) was being clever when he asked you that. It's sort of a trick question. He's expecting you to say yes, because people associate fur with increased warmth, so he's going to tell you that the correct answer is no. But the correct answer is that it depends on the temperature of the air trapped inside the fur before it was wrapped around the thermometer. This requires some explanation. If the thermometer and the fur are in the same room and have been for a while, then we can assume that the temperature indicated by the thermometer is also the temp of the fur. Wrapping the fur around the thermometer, in that case, will do nothing to raise the temp of the thermometer, because the fur is not a source of heat energy. It merely insulates the thermometer from the environment outside the fur. If, however, the thermometer were outside in the winter and the fur were in your cozy, warm house, wrapping the thermometer with that fur would raise the temp of the thermometer somewhat, because it would change to read the temp of the air trapped by the fur.
You can test the temperature of the air using a thermometer designed for measuring air temperature. Simply place the thermometer in the area where you want to measure the temperature and read the display. Be sure to avoid blocking the airflow around the thermometer for an accurate reading.
The temperature in the continental rise typically ranges from 0 to 4 degrees Celsius. This temperature is relatively constant due to the deep ocean currents that circulate around the ocean basins.
A liquid-filled glass thermometer is a device used to measure temperature that consists of a glass tube filled with a temperature-sensitive liquid, typically mercury or alcohol. As the temperature changes, the liquid expands or contracts, causing it to rise or fall in the tube, which can be calibrated to show the corresponding temperature.
No, ice will not immediately rise in temperature when heated. Initially, the heat energy will cause the ice to melt and transition into water. Only after the ice has completely melted will the temperature of the water start to rise.
When the liquid is heated (by the environment), the particles in the liquid have more energy, and start moving around more, which causes the liquid to expand and take up more room. Conversely, in cold temperatures, the particles do not have as much energy, and do not move as much, so the liquid contracts.

The rise in alcohol in a thermometer is a result of the expansion of the alcohol due to increased temperature. As the temperature increases, the molecules in the alcohol move faster and spread out, causing the liquid to rise in the thermometer tube.
When the temperature increases, the mercury in a thermometer expands and rises up the column because the volume of the liquid increases with temperature. This expansion is linear and is used to indicate the rise in temperature on the thermometer scale.
The mercury in a thermometer expands and contracts as temperature changes. This expansion and contraction causes the level of mercury in the thermometer to rise or fall, providing a visual indication of the temperature.
The mercury will expand and rise up the thermometer tube until it reaches the temperature of the air around it. When it stops expanding, it is the same temperature as the air, and therefore gives an accurate reading.
To calculate the mercury rise in a thermometer, you need to subtract the initial temperature reading from the final temperature reading. The difference between these two readings represents the mercury rise in the thermometer. Make sure to use the units of measurement (usually degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit) in your calculation.
When the temperature goes up, the mercury or alcohol inside the thermometer expands, causing the level to rise. This increase in volume is directly correlated with the increase in temperature, allowing the thermometer to indicate the higher temperature.
A rise in temperature causes the particles in the thermometer to move faster, which in turn causes the liquid to expand and rise in the thermometer tube. This increase in volume is then calibrated to display a corresponding temperature reading.
The Galileo thermometer is based on a thermoscope designed by Galileo Galilei. There are multiple bubbles filled with different colored liquids and tags that indicate temperature. They sink or rise when their density changes with the temperature of the water around them. The bubble that sinks the farthest is the most accurate temperature.
Mercury rises in a thermometer when the temperature increases because mercury expands as it heats up. This expansion of the mercury column inside the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment.
When the temperature increases, the mercury inside the thermometer expands due to thermal expansion, causing the level of mercury to rise in the thermometer tube. This results in a higher reading on the scale of the thermometer, indicating a higher temperature.
The liquid in a Galileo thermometer expands or contracts based on the temperature, causing the glass bulbs with different densities to rise or sink, indicating the temperature.
