While the Greeks made simple thermometers (instruments for measuring temperature) as early as the first century B.C., Italian astronomer (a scientists specializing in the study of the stars, planets, and heavenly bodies) Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) is credited with inventing the modern thermometer. Called an air thermometer, it was a device in which a colored liquid was driven down by the expansion of air. As the air got warmer and expanded, the liquid dropped. In 1612 Italian physician Santorio Santorio (1561-1636), a friend of Galileo, adapted the device to measure the body's change in temperature due to illness. A century later, in 1714, German physicist Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) invented the Mercury (a metallic element) thermometer. Thermometers in use today, contain liquid mercury, which rises as it gets warmer. Galileo Galilei is often claimed to be the inventor of the thermometer. However the instrument he invented could not strictly be called a thermometer: to be a thermometer an instrument must measure temperature differences; Galileo's instrument did not do this, but merely indicated temperature differences.
The first thermometer that was recorded was produced by Santorio Santorio. Since then, the thermometer has been improved by many scientists including Galileo, Ferdinand II and Gabriel Fahrenheit.
it was made in Italy
The first flute was made by Bohem
thermometer
The first flute was made over 5,000 years ago. It was made out of bone. The first metal flute was made in 1830 by Theobald Boehm.
WestingHouse made the first ever golf cart.
The first one was made in 1714.
Galileo Galilei made a water thermometer in 1593.
it is a thing designed Arctic are
Galileo was the first one to invent the thermometer but another guy made a better thermometer than Galileo butt basically it is Galileo who invented the thermometer
It was Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
Daniel FahrenheitGalileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian physicist, invented a basic air thermometer. That is the first known inventor. But we do know that the Ancient Greeks had basic thermometers but it is unknown who made it.
Galileo Galilei invented the first water thermometer. He created it by adding droplets of alcohol in the water. This is so the liquid is less denser and can detect changes in temperature.
There is an ear thermometer?
Galileo made the thermometer in 1593.
invantor of digital thermometer
The first thermometer was a tube filled with water and air.
it looked like a modern thermometer
