Yes, temperature is typically measured in the shade to avoid any influences from direct sunlight which can artificially raise the temperature. This helps to get a more accurate representation of the air temperature.
Direct sunlight would heat the thermometer higher than the actual air temperature. A reading would be more accurate if taken in the shade, where the temperature reading would not be greatly different.
In the United States, temperature is typically measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Temperature of air is taken in shade to reduce the influence of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can significantly heat up surfaces which can lead to inaccurate temperature readings. Taking the temperature in shade ensures a more reliable and consistent measurement of the actual air temperature.
Static temperature can be measured using a temperature sensor such as a thermometer or thermocouple. The sensor is placed in the area where the temperature needs to be measured and it provides a reading of the static temperature.
Different aspects of temperature that can be measured include ambient temperature (air temperature in the surrounding environment), surface temperature (temperature of an object's surface), body temperature (temperature of a living organism), and water temperature (temperature of water in a body of water).
The answer depends on why you want to measure the temperature and what the object is. I cannot see any way of measuring the temperature of the surface of the sun in the shade!
Direct sunlight would heat the thermometer higher than the actual air temperature. A reading would be more accurate if taken in the shade, where the temperature reading would not be greatly different.
It like 20' on the moons shade
Air temperature should be measured in the shade. Sunlight falling on the instrument, the thermometer, will heat up the temperature receptor through radiation, causing the reading to be incorrectly high. For greater accuracy, place thermometer inside a box-like device called a Stevenson screen. Its purpose is to provide a standardized environment in which to measure temperature, humidity, dewpoint and atmospheric pressure. This product works by preventing sunlight from hitting the receptor on the thermometer, but it still allows air to circulate in and out. This device is also known as a cotton region shelter, an instrument shelter, a thermometer shelter, a thermo-screen or a thermometer screen.
If it's in the shade, then the temperature of the air that wafts past it is. If it's in direct sun, then it's displaying the temperature of the structure of the thermometer itself, as it absorbs direct solar radiation and its temperature rises above that of the air that wafts past it.
it is measured by a thermometer
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.
Approx 100. As a rule of thumb, generally 20 degrees cooler in the shade or so they say.

NO ... Barometric Pressure is measured in Centimeters or Inches (of Mercury.) Temperature is measured in Degrees Fahrenheit or Degrees Centigrade.
In the United States, temperature is typically measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
