A thermometer measures temperature based on the expansion or contraction of the liquid or metal inside it. When it gets cold, the molecules inside the thermometer contract, causing the liquid or metal to shrink, which in turn results in the reading on the thermometer going down.
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. It can be used to check the temperature of objects, substances, or environments.
A clinical thermometer measures the max temp of the human body due to the expansion of the mercury in the bulb, which flows past a kink in the column and rises in the graduated stem, to read the highest body-temp. Once it is removed from the body, the mercury stays at that level, and does not fall because it cannot flow back into the bulb -- the kink prevents the back flow. It has to be shaken vigorously, as you know, for us to get the mercury back; then it is ready to take the temp again.. Also, the temp cannot rise further on its own from the max reading because the mercury does not expand the moment the thermometer is taken out of the body. Incidentally, temp can be measured under the armpits and in the rectum also.
No, a thermometer measures the temperature of its surroundings rather than its own temperature. In order to measure its own temperature accurately, a thermometer would need to maintain a separate reference temperature which is challenging to achieve in practice.
A thermometer is typically used to measure water temperature. Digital thermometers or temperature probes are commonly used for quick and accurate readings.
A thermometer is a tool used to measure temperature. There are various types of thermometers, such as digital, infrared, and mercury thermometers, that can measure temperature in different ways depending on the application.

in the winter it can get cold but in the summer it gets very hot the temp. ranges depending on the season.
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of an object or a person. It can help determine if someone has a fever or monitor the temperature in various settings such as in cooking, scientific experiments, and weather forecasting.
A salamander is a cold blooded animal. So it simply follows the temperature change. Temperature goes down, its body temp goes down, Temp goes up its body temp goes up
yup
Animals, reptiles and amphibians are cold blooded.People and mammals are warm blooded. cold blooded means that if its hot the animal gets hot if its cold then the animal is cold. warm blooded means that we stay the same temp. on the inside weather were cold or hot.Our body temp does not change like the cold ones.
You can measure the temperature of water using a thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the water and wait a few seconds for the reading to stabilize. The temperature displayed on the thermometer is the temperature of the water.
