WHAT IS 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. 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).
WHAT IS DIGITAL THERMOMETER?
Digital thermometers are instruments that sense
temperature and have a digital display and permanent probes.
They are portable.
They can display temperatures in Fahrenheit, Centigrade or
Celsius.
They can also display the range and scale.
They can display one or more of these units, such as dual
scale thermometers.
The range displays the lowest and the highest values that
can be detected by the thermometer.
The scale displays the smallest in degrees that can be
shown.
