name of the scientist who invented thermometer?

Answer 1

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was the German physicist who invented the alcohol thermometer in 1709, and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In 1724, he introduced the temperature scale that bears his name - Fahrenheit Scale.

Anders Celsius
The Celsius temperature scale is also referred to as the "centigrade" scale. Centigrade means "consisting of or divided into 100 degrees". The Celsius scale, invented by Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), has 100 degrees between the freezing point (0 C) and boiling point (100 C) of pure water at sea level air pressure. The term "Celsius" was adopted in 1948 by an international conference on weights and measures.

Answer 2

Galilei invented a thermoscope in 1593 but the first actual thermometer was invented in 1612 by Santorio Santorio. Some sites say Galilei is the first inventor - some say Santorio is.
The mercury thermometer was not invented until 1714 by Daniel Farenheit. Here is the timeline & description of the early ones. You can read more on this at the sites below.

1596 - The first thermoscope
Galileo Galilei is often claimed to be the inventor of the thermometer. However the instrument he invented could not strictly be called a thermometer: to be a thermometer an instrument must measure temperature differences; Galileo's instrument did not do this, but merely indicated temperature differences. His instrument should rightly be called a thermoscope

1612 Santorio Santorio - the first thermometer
The Italian, Santorio Santorio (1561-1636) is generally credited with having applied a scale to an air thermoscope at least as early as 1612 and thus is thought to be the inventor of the thermometer as a temperature measuring device. Santorio's instrument was an air thermometer. Its accuracy was poor as the effects of varying air pressure on the thermometer were not understood at that time

1654 -The first sealed liquid-in-glass thermometer
Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II (1610-1670). His thermometer had an alcohol filling. Although this was a significant development his thermometer was inaccurate and there was no standardised scale in use.

1714 -The first mercury thermometer
Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was the first person to make a thermometer using mercury.

Answer 3

The first thermometers were called thermoscopes and while several inventors invented a version of the thermoscope at the same time, Italian inventor Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer.

Answer 6

The first recorded thermometer was produced by the Italian, Santorio Santorio (1561-1636) who was one of a group of Venetian scientists working at the end of the Sixteenth Century. As with many inventions the thermometer came about through the work of many scientists and was improved upon by many others.

Answer 7

Electrical resistance thermometer, water thermometer, alcohol thermometer, mercury in glass thermometer, normal clinical thermometer, rectal thermometer, strip thermometer, wet bulb thermometer ...... there are many different types and all could be siad to have had different inventors.

Farenheit is the generally accepted answer, but Gallileo Gallilei is also a valid answer

Myself I wouldn't accept Santorio as a valid answer as all he did was put a scale on the side of someone elses invention, unfortunately the person whos invention he modified isn't recorded.

Answer 8

Sir Thomas Clifford Allbutt (b. July 20, 1836, Dewsbury, Yorkshire, d. Feb. 22, 1925, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) was a British physician, the son of Thomas Allbutt, Vicar of Dewsbury and Susan Wooler. Sir Thomas had no children.

Allbutt invented the clinical thermometer. Before his invention patients were asked to hold a thermometer in their hands and took about an hour to take an acceptable measurement of their body temperature.

Answer 10

God. Ancient Egyptians. Stone-Age humans. I dont know. Human touch is a thermometer. It knows cold, warm and hot. Its not precise, but it is thermometric. All it takes is a mind, the ability to think, and the ability to feel cold on the skin and its a thermometric system. Many animals and plants are thermometric - think oak leaves in the fall. Firing clay pots takes specific high temperatures. Handling metals like gold and silver does too. Are you asking about our current, rigorous, numerical system, or just a general way to measure temperature.
