No, the molecules of the liquid inside a thermometer do not increase in speed when the thermometer is cooled. Instead, they lose energy and slow down, causing the liquid to contract and move down the scale. When the thermometer is heated, the molecules gain energy and speed up, leading to expansion of the liquid.
Mercury
On a hot day, the liquid inside the thermometer expands and rises, causing the temperature reading to increase. This occurs because heat causes molecules to move faster and spread out, resulting in the expansion of the liquid inside the thermometer.
The clear liquid inside a Galileo thermometer is typically a hydrocarbon-based liquid, such as ethanol or mineral oil. This liquid expands and contracts with temperature changes, causing the glass spheres with different densities to float or sink.
Liquid is used in a thermometer because it expands and contracts uniformly with changes in temperature, allowing for accurate temperature measurements. The liquid inside the thermometer expands and rises in the capillary tube as it gets warmer, providing a visible indication of temperature.
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
The liquid inside a Galileo thermometer is usually a clear, alcohol-based solution.
the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.
The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.

Thermal expansion of the fluid inside the thermometer.
When a thermometer is placed into something cold, the liquid inside contracts and decreases in volume. This causes the liquid level to decrease, indicating a lower temperature on the scale of the thermometer.
A thermometer measures temperature based on the expansion or contraction of the liquid or metal inside it. When it gets cold, the molecules inside the thermometer contract, causing the liquid or metal to shrink, which in turn results in the reading on the thermometer going down.
On a hot day, the liquid inside the thermometer expands and rises, causing the temperature reading to increase. This occurs because heat causes molecules to move faster and spread out, resulting in the expansion of the liquid inside the thermometer.
The keyword "what" in a Galileo thermometer is used to indicate the temperature at which the liquid-filled bulbs inside the thermometer are floating.
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
