Since all the markings on a thermometer are not numbered, it is easier to read if the markings are the same (the markings are usually by ones).

What does thermometers do when they are heated?

In a manual/old-style thermometer, liquid (usually mercury) in the tube expands at a known rate, moving up the body of the thermometer. The markings are calibrated based on the known expansion rate. I don't know about electronic models.


Mercury thermometer analog or digital device?

The traditional mercury thermometer has the mercury in a narrow glass tube with the readings/markings etched into the glass so it is neither analogue nor digital. I thought it was analogue.

How do you tell how hot or cold something is?

use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
