Do thermometers measure in Celsius?

Thermometers can be calibrated to measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin. Most common thermometers used for everyday purposes usually measure temperature in Celsius.


Are digital and clinical thermometers same?

Digital and clinical thermometers are not necessarily the same. Digital thermometers can encompass a wider range of types, including both clinical and non-clinical variations. Clinical thermometers, on the other hand, are specifically designed for medical use to measure body temperature accurately.


Two kinds of thermometer?

Two common types of thermometers are digital thermometers and mercury thermometers. Digital thermometers use electronic sensors to measure temperature and display it on a screen, while mercury thermometers contain mercury that expands or contracts with temperature changes. Mercury thermometers are being phased out due to environmental concerns over mercury exposure.


What are 3 main different types of thermometers?

The three main types of thermometers are liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers. Liquid-in-glass thermometers use a liquid like mercury or alcohol to measure temperature, digital thermometers provide a numeric temperature reading, and infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance using infrared technology.
