Answer 2

The Kelvin temperature scale (also called the 'absolute temperature scale') is named after the British physicist William Thomson, who had the title of Lord Kelvin. I don't know if he actually invented the temperature scale, but presumably he had something to do with it.

Answer 3

The first thermometers were called thermoscopes and while several inventors invented a version of the thermoscope at the same time, Italian inventor Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first Mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer

Answer 4

The first to put a numerical scale on the thermoscopes was the Italian inventor Santorio Santorio for use in medicine in the 16th century.

Answer 5

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the weather thermometer in 1724. He also invented an alcohol thermometer in 1709 and the mercury thermometer in 1714.

Answer 6

Galileo Galilei was the first person credited with the invention of the thermometer. This was a discovery made in 1596.

Answer 7

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian physicist, invented a basic water thermometer in 300056 AD.

Answer 8

The mercury thermometer used to measure temperature was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714. He developed a temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling points of water.
