What do you use to tell the temperature outside?
Go outside and use a thermometer. Simple as that
Is it normal for the temperature to go up on a thermometer when it has come out of a ice-water bath for 1 minute?
Assuming that the surroundings are above the freezing point of water - yes - it is normal for the temperature on the thermometer to go up. It may still remain elevated even if plunged back into the ice bath since the thermometer has mass and can absorb some energy while out of the bath. There is also the phenomena that in some thermometers even when the temperature drops, the thermometer fluid sometimes remains elevated unless you "shake down" the thermometer.
Can you measure a woman's temperature by putting a thermometer in her vagina?
Yes, inserting a thermometer into the vagina is a common method of taking a woman's internal body temperature. However, it is important to use a thermometer specifically designed for this purpose and ensure it is inserted gently and accurately to obtain an accurate reading.
Why does the thermometer go down when cooled?
The cold reduces the temperature in the liquid inside the thermometer bulb. Most substances contract when their temperature drops so the liquid in the bulb occupies less space. this causes the column of liquid outside the bulb to become smaller.
What would happen if we took a jacket after it had been hanging in the closet and placed a thermometer inside?
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.
Why does the liquid in a thermometer go down before the temperature is taken?
It does not by itself. It must be shaken down. The liquid is mercury, which is very heat-expansive, i.e. it changes its volume noticeably and quickly depending on its temperature. The warmer, the larger the volume. That's why it's used in thermometers. However, thermometers are built so that the mercury does not go down by itself to enable taking precise readings (otherwise, it would fall quickly immediately after the thermometer is removed from the body). So, the thermometer must cool and the contracted but vacuum-stuck mercury must then be shaken down to take another measurement.
Why doesn't the mercury on a medical thermometer go down when it's removed from the body?
The mercury on a medical thermometer does not go down when removed from the body because the mercury expands to a certain level when it comes in contact with body heat, and even after it's removed, it does not contract back immediately. The thermometer needs to be shaken or reset for the mercury to go back down to its starting point.
Can a meat thermometer go in the oven for accurate temperature readings?
Yes, a meat thermometer can go in the oven for accurate temperature readings as long as it is an oven-safe thermometer designed for high heat cooking.
Does a thermometer go up?
No, a thermometer doesn't physically go up. Rather, it measures and displays changes in temperature by using a scale or dial to indicate the temperature.
What do you use to tell the temperature outside?
Go outside and use a thermometer. Simple as that
Can a meat thermometer go in the oven?
Yes, a meat thermometer can go in the oven to accurately measure the internal temperature of the meat being cooked.
Is it normal for the temperature to go up on a thermometer when it has come out of a ice-water bath for 1 minute?
Assuming that the surroundings are above the freezing point of water - yes - it is normal for the temperature on the thermometer to go up.

There is also the phenomena that in some thermometers even when the temperature drops, the thermometer fluid sometimes remains elevated unless you "shake down" the thermometer.
Why does the mercury in the thermometer go up when the temperature is high?
In a mercury thermometer, the mercury expands when it is heated, causing it to rise in the thermometer's narrow tube. This increase in volume is a physical property of mercury known as thermal expansion. The height of the mercury column in the thermometer is then used to measure the temperature.
Does a thermometer go inside or outside fish tank?
Inside the tank as it is for you to see the water temperature.
What makes mercury go up and down a thermometer?
the heat and temperature that causes it to rise and fall.
Why does the substance in the column of the thermometer go up when it is heated?
When the substance in the column of a thermometer is heated, its temperature increases. As the temperature increases, the particles in the substance move more energetically and spread out, causing the substance to expand and rise up the column. This expansion is what causes the fluid to rise and indicate a higher temperature reading on the thermometer.
Why the alcohol level in a thermometer goes down when it's cold?
When the temperature drops, the alcohol in the thermometer contracts and takes up less space. This results in the alcohol level appearing to go down in the thermometer.
