 We
have wonderful styles of any Galileo thermometer you could possibly
imagine at Digital Thermometers. A Galileo thermometer is designed
primarily of a sealed glass cylinder, which contains a clear liquid
substance. Sometimes the liquid is colored for an overall effect
that is more pleasing to the eye.
The Galileo thermometer works by the scientific principle of buoyancy
or resilience. Buoyancy determines whether objects float or sink
in a liquid, and is responsible for the fact that even boats made
of steel can float (of course, a solid bar of steel by itself will
sink).
Though certain not as precise as more modern digital thermometers,
if the weights of a Galileo thermometer differ—even by a slight
amount The least dense part of the liquid is at the top and most
dense part of the liquid is at the bottom of the thermometer, together
they form a scale for measuring the temperature.
