What happens to the thermometer when the temperature goes up?
When the temperature goes up, the mercury or alcohol inside the thermometer expands, causing the level to rise. This increase in volume is directly correlated with the increase in temperature, allowing the thermometer to indicate the higher temperature.
How does a thermometer use thermal expansion?
A thermometer uses thermal expansion by measuring the expansion or contraction of a fluid (like mercury or alcohol) inside a narrow tube as the temperature changes. The increased volume of the fluid due to heat causes it to rise in the tube, providing a temperature reading.
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.
What happed to the particles inside of a thermometer when the temperature goes down?
When the temperature goes down, the particles inside a thermometer lose kinetic energy and move slower. This causes them to contract and move closer together, leading to a decrease in volume. This change in volume is what allows the thermometer to measure lower temperatures.
How high does a thermometer go?
107 degrees Fahrenheit, because once a human reaches that temperature they're basically cooked from the inside. It's kinda like a hard-boiled egg.
What goes in a thermometer?
Mercury.

Why does mercury level goes down for a very short time when a mercury-in glass thermometer is placed in hot water?
The exterior of the bulb of the thermometer expands first, resulting in the mercury level to go down. After that the mercury in the bulb expands more than the glass bulb, resulting in the subsequent rise of the mercury level.
Why the mercury in the thermometer drop when the temperature is cool?
Mercury like other metals contracts when it cools and expands when it is warmed. Mercury is an unusual metal because its melting point is so low, -38.8 C -37.9 F, its boiling point is 356.7 C , 674.1 F which means that other than in the coldest winter it is a liquid. Because in a thermometer it is in a glass tube it is constrained and expansion and contraction due to a change in volume are readily seen. When the thermometer is upright the top of the column of mercury "rises" when as the temperature goes up and "drops" as the temperature goes down. .
Is thermometer a type of manometer?
Not quite; This is what the first source said about how a thermometer works; This liquid is sometimes colored alcohol but can also be a metallic liquid called mercury. Both mercury and alcohol grow bigger when heated and smaller when cooled. Inside the glass tube of a thermometer, the liquid has no place to go but up when the temperature is hot and down when the temperature is cold. In other words, the thermometer goes up or down due to the expansion of the alcohol or mercury due to the heat. After reviewing the second source, you will see that the columns go up and down due to the atmospheric pressure. If it goes up and down due to atmospheric pressure it is a manometer. A manometer does not work if it is not exposed to the atmosphere. A thermometer is sealed off to the outside. This is another reason why a thermometer is different from a manometer.
Is the engine toast if timing belt goes out on a 1999 Villager?
The Mercury Villager does not have an interference engine (in spite of what you might hear) and will not be damaged if the belt breaks.
Can you hold Mercury in your hand?
Yes. It is a heavy metal and will lead to mercury poisoning over time as it is a cumulative exposure.it breaks in your hand.no poisoning is done if it dosent do inside your body . but if it goes may lead to cancer
How does a mercury themometer work?
A Mercury barometer works by expanding and therefore raising the mercury of the barometer, then reading the level up to which the mercury has gone.
What is the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer?
The tastes differ. An oral thermometer has a longer slender end that's inserted (into the mouth), compared to a rectal thermometer that has a short bulbous end inserted (into the rectum). The bulb reduces the chance of tearing the rectal wall, especially in infants. Some digital models have a setting for rectal vs. oral on the unit. The rectal temperature is known to be a little warmer and more accurate to body temperature. If you still have a glass and mercury thermometer, be aware that mercury is a deadly toxin, and consider replacing the thermometer with a digital model.
Why does the height of the liquid of a thermometer increaseswhen the temperature goes up?
Thermal expansion of the fluid inside the thermometer.
How does a thermometer use thermal expansion?
A thermometer uses thermal expansion by measuring the expansion or contraction of a fluid (like mercury or alcohol) inside a narrow tube as the temperature changes. The increased volume of the fluid due to heat causes it to rise in the tube, providing a temperature reading.
