A globe thermometer is used to measure radiant heat. It bascially consists of a therometer with its bulb or sensor located at the centre of a Matt black copper bulb. Mean radiant temperature can be calculated from this result if air temp and velocity are known.

A globe thermometer is a device used to measure the combined effects of air temperature, humidity, and radiant heat on human comfort. It consists of a temperature sensor inside a hollow, matte black sphere that mimics the way human skin absorbs heat. Globe thermometers are commonly used in indoor environments, outdoor settings, and occupational health and safety assessments.

What is another name for the lines that run across the globe east-west called besides latitude?
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.

How does a black globe thermometer works?
A black globe thermometer measures the combined effects of temperature, humidity, and radiant heat on a surface. It consists of a black globe that absorbs solar radiation and emits far-infrared radiation, providing a more comprehensive measurement of thermal comfort compared to traditional air temperature readings. By monitoring the black globe temperature, one can assess the thermal environment and potential heat stress risks for individuals working in hot conditions.
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.
