A thermometer is a device used to measure temperatures or temperature changes.
There are many different thermometers relying on different principles. These include:
- Thermistors
- Thermocouples
- Mercury-in-glass thermometers
- Silicon bandgap temperature sensors
- Infrared thermometers
- Lard can also be used as a thermometer: if it melts, it's hot!
