thermometer
Mercury-filled measuring tube
A thermometer is an instrument for measuring temperature.
The familiar kind uses liquid—mercury or alcohol—that rises or falls in a glass tube marked with a scale.
Digital thermometers have largely replaced these in medical and household use.
The thermometer read 102 degrees.
