Who invented the mercury thermometer and why?

The mercury thermometer was invented Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714. It was so that common temperatures could be measured. Fahrenheit was a physicist with a special interest in thermometry - the measure of temperature and heat.


What measures temperature which is not a thermometer?

By definition, something that measures temperature is a thermometer.'Thermo-' means 'to do with heat''Meter' means 'to measure'Thermometer literally means 'A measurer of temperature'You might mean a thermostat which is a special kind of thermometer which alterers its behaviour depending on the temperature. Thermostats are used in heating systems to prevent it from getting too hot.


Why is a thermostat a special kind of thermometer?

A thermostat is not a thermometer, it is a device that routes 24 volts to various circuits according to temperature. There were old fashioned type mercury bulb thermostats but they are very rare today, most thermostats are solid state circuit board type.


What is digital thermometer?

A digital thermometer is an electronic device used to measure temperature. It typically displays the temperature reading digitally on a screen, making it easy to read and more accurate than traditional analog thermometers. Digital thermometers are commonly used in various applications such as medical, food, and environmental monitoring.


Why clinical thermometer is a special thermometer?

A clinical thermometer is a special type of thermometer designed for measuring human body temperature accurately. It has a more narrow range compared to other thermometers, typically between 95°F to 110°F, which allows for greater precision in detecting changes in body temperature. Additionally, clinical thermometers are usually made of non-toxic materials for safe use in the mouth, underarm, or rectum.

What is used to measure soil temperature?

usually just a thermometer, but sometime you can also use a special laser thermometer.


What is a special thermometer that measures temperature continuously?

A special thermometer that measures temperature continuously is known as a digital or electronic thermometer, often equipped with a probe or sensor. These thermometers provide real-time temperature readings and can log data over time, making them useful for applications such as medical monitoring, industrial processes, and environmental studies. Some advanced models even offer wireless connectivity for remote monitoring.


Do I need a special chocolate thermometer or can I use my regular candy thermometer?

A regular candy thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of chocolate. The truth is you would be better off using a chocolate thermometer because it may be a little more accurate.


What thermometer should you not use in the kitchen?

Any thermometer will measure temperature, but a special cooks' thermometer will have a scale meaningful to cooking. A glass (medical?) themometer is best avoided as the glass may break when inserted into a cake, fish, etc. to ensure it is cooked thoroughly.


Can you measure a dogs temperature in their mouth?

Yes, you can measure a dog's temperature in their mouth by using a digital thermometer. Place the thermometer under the dog's tongue and hold it in place for about a minute to get an accurate reading. However, measuring a dog's temperature rectally may provide a more reliable and accurate result.

Why is it necessary to use special instruments to measure the temperature of the atmosphere in the thermosphere layer?

The thermosphere is the last layer of the atmosphere. Special instruments are needed to measure its temperature because there are very few particles in the thermosphere that would strike a conventional thermometer to heat it.


What can you use to measure the temperature of soup?

You can use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of your soup. These are special thermometers specifically designed to be used in food. The ones that are used for humans are not suitable for food because they contain mercury, which is a poison. If the temperature is too high for the thin glass, it will crack and spill lethal mercury into the food. The thermometers designed for cooking have no mercury and are usually electronic. Some electronic soup makers will also show the temperature of the contents while it is cooking.
