Answer 2

Hello there,

In addition to several methods to figure out the temperature of liquids and solids, one can easily figure out the temperature of objects by touching. obviously you cant know the exact temperature readings like in thermometer and etc but you can get and idea of which object is hotter than the other. This is because we have sensory tissues in out hands which react to temperature. They can easily feel the hotness or coldness of an object and react to it.

Thanks for asking
