A thermometer is a tool used to measure temperature. It consists of a long, narrow tube with a bulb at one end that contains a liquid (such as Mercury or alcohol) that expands or contracts with temperature changes. The temperature is then read from a scale on the thermometer.

How does a thermeter work?

A thermometer works by measuring temperature using a temperature-sensing element, such as mercury or a thermocouple. When the element is exposed to a change in temperature, it expands or contracts, producing a corresponding change in length that is displayed on a scale. The scale provides a numerical value to represent the temperature.
