Question

Who invented thermometer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first thermometer was invented by Santorio

Answer 2

• Santorio Santorio (1561-1636), an Italian, is often credited with applying a scale to an air thermoscope as early as 1612, and hence is widely regarded as the creator of the thermometer as a temperature measurement instrument.
• A thermometer is a device that detects and measures temperature or a temperature gradient.

A thermometer has two important components:

• (1) a temperature sensor (e.g., the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) that changes when the temperature changes.
• (2) a means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the digital readout on an infrared model). Thermometers are often used to monitor processes in technology and industry, as well as in meteorology, medicine, and scientific study.
