An instrument that measures very high temperatures is called a pyrometer. The most modern type of pyrometer measures thermal radiation through pyrometry.

Why isn't the thermosphere a hot place even though it has very high temperatures?

The thermosphere has very low density of molecules, so even though it has high temperatures, there are very few molecules to transfer that heat to objects such as satellites. This is why satellites can operate in the thermosphere without overheating.


How hot can a brick get?

At a very high temperature until it changes into gas.


Why is the inner core solid but the outer core liquid if both regions have very high temperatures?

The inner core is solid because of the immense pressure at that depth, which keeps the iron and nickel in a solid state despite the high temperatures. In the outer core, where pressure is slightly lower, the higher temperatures cause the iron and nickel to be in a liquid state.


Why is tungsten suitable for making filament of a bulb?

Tungsten is suitable for making a filament in a light bulb because it has a very high melting point, allowing it to operate at high temperatures without melting. It also has a low vapor pressure at high temperatures, which helps the filament last longer without evaporating. Additionally, tungsten is a good conductor of electricity, making it efficient at converting electrical energy into light.


What is the range of a gas thermometer?

The range of a gas thermometer depends on the type of gas used. Common gases used in gas thermometers have ranges from very low temperatures up to high temperatures, typically ranging from close to absolute zero to a few thousand degrees Celsius.

What is A period when a region and temperatures are very high?

A period of very high temperatures in a region is known as a heatwave. Heatwaves can lead to health risks, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and can also have negative impacts on agriculture and infrastructure.
