Thermometers

1. Thermometers measure temperature in their immediate environments. We offer a variety of options including digital thermometers and analog thermometers.

2. While many of our thermometers are functional, decorative variety, we also offer several thermometers that are integrated into far more sophisticated weather stations.

3. The two common temperature scales used on thermometers are Fahrenheit, which is used primarily in the United States, and Celsius (also known as Centigrade). Some of our thermometers offer display temperature in both scales.

4. Thermometers measure temperature to varying degrees of precision. If you're looking for something that will provide more detailed information, we recommend one of our digital thermometers.

5. A Galileo thermometer is a basic device invented by Galileo Galilei, which uses glass "balloons" suspended in a cylinder of water. These are filled with different liquids and thus float to different heights at different temperatures. We are pleased to offer a selection of these inventive thermometers.
