A thermometer is the device used to find temperature of an object
Explanation:
Thermometer is the instrument used to measure temperature. A thermometer has two important parts, a sensor and a display.
The sensor will be a bulb of mercury or a pyrometric sensor which senses the temperature of the object. The scale is the visible reading which converts the change in the sensor to a numeric value, so we can read the temperature. The scale can be either a visual scale as in a mercury thermometer or a digital display as in an infrared model.
Thermometers are widely used in technology and industry to monitor a reaction/process, in meteorology to determine the weather, in medicine to monitor the patient's body temperature or in other scientific research.
