it rises because the molecules are expanding the space between each other and they have nowhere else to go but up. when it is cold the molecules move closer to each other therefore the liquid will appear to be moving downward.
The liquid in the thermometer expands or contracts based on temperature changes. When the weather is warmer, the liquid expands and rises up the tube, and when it's cooler, the liquid contracts and goes down. This movement indicates the temperature changes on the thermometer scale.
Well, darling, if you took a jacket that had been hanging in the closet and placed a thermometer inside, you would get a reading of the temperature inside the jacket. The thermometer would measure the temperature of the air trapped inside the jacket, giving you an idea of how warm or cool it is in there. So, go ahead and satisfy your curiosity, but don't expect any mind-blowing revelations.
The result of filling a recovery cylinder with iquid refrigerant and allowing it to warm up is that the heat of the container would warm the refrigerant inside of it. The refrigerant would, as a result expand.
Because your finger doesn't give you a number for temperature. And also, if the liquid is quite warm, it can burn your finger obviously. The thermometer on the other hand is made to deal with extreme temperatures, unlike your finger. It gives a precise, almost accurate reading of the temperature.
The thermometer reading will change from reading the solution temperature.
When a thermometer is exposed to warmth, the liquid inside it expands and rises up the tube. This is because heat causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster, taking up more space and causing the volume to increase. The expansion of the liquid is used to measure the temperature.
mercury explodes
When you add heat to liquid water it gets warm. If it gets warm enough it will boil and evaporate.
The liquid in the thermometer expands or contracts based on temperature changes. When the weather is warmer, the liquid expands and rises up the tube, and when it's cooler, the liquid contracts and goes down. This movement indicates the temperature changes on the thermometer scale.
When the glass thermometer is in contact with a warmer object, conduction will cause the galss bulb to warm. This will cause the liquid inside the bulb to warm and, as a result, to expand. Since this liquid has nowhere else to go, it will expand into the capillary at the end of the bulb. The capillary is placed next to a graduate scale which is calibrated to give the temperature.
A thermometer. You can get them for a grrrreat price at www.bigalsonline.com
Switch it off & remove the battery. Place it somewhere warm - such as on top of a warm (NOT hot !) radiator, with the battery cover removed, so that any liquid inside the phone should evaporate. Leave it at least eight hours (preferably overnight) and it should work.
sun warms it, it gets warm
No, this is backwards. When air gets warm it can hold more water vapour so liquid water will evaporate.
An ordinary glass fever thermometer is typically made of a sealed glass tube filled with mercury or dyed alcohol. It has a calibrated scale along the length of the tube to measure temperature. When the thermometer is placed in contact with a warm object, the temperature causes the liquid inside to expand and rise up the scale, indicating the temperature value.

because it's a place on your body that is really warm. same as with an armpit, or even in the rectum, the inside of your body is what you need to measure
