Thermometer

A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient. A thermometer has two
important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb on a mercury-in-glass thermometer) in which
some physical change occurs with temperature, and (2) some means of converting this physical change into
a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury-in-glass thermometer).
