    A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature, developed in the 16th and 17th centuries from Greek words meaning "warm" and "to measure". It contains a temperature sensor, like the bulb of a mercury thermometer, where a physical change occurs with temperature, and a means of converting this change into a numerical reading on a scale. There are many types of thermometers with various uses.

    Thermometer

    Developed during the 16th and 17th centuries, a thermometer (from the Greek (thermos) meaning "warm" and meter, "to measure") is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles.[1] A thermometer has two important elements: the temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb on a mercury thermometer) in which some physical change occurs with temperature, plus some means of converting this physical change into a numerical value (e.g. the scale on a mercury thermometer). There are many types of thermometer and many uses for thermometers, as detailed below in sections of this article
