Instrument which measure the amount of heat in the air by the expansion fa liquid in a graduated glass tube with a reservoir bulb at one end. Alternately, by use of a bimetallic strip which moves the indicator on a scale when heat causes the two metals to expand at different rates. Normally used for outdoor temperatures.

| thermometer |
An instrument for measuring temperatures. Three different systems are employed. The Fahrenheit scale records freezing point of water at 32 degrees and boiling point at 212 degrees; the Centigrade scale registers freezing point at 0 degrees and boiling point at 100 degrees; the Reaumur scale has a freezing point of 0 degrees and a boiling point of 80 degrees. Absolute minimum temperatures are - 273?6 degrees Centigrade or -459? degrees Fahrenheit.
