Hi everyone, How do u measure temperature, let's say of a car bulb without using a thermometer?
Your ideas are all welcomed.
Thanx

Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different temperature scales. The main difference between them is the reference points. The Celsius scale uses the freezing point of water as 0 degrees and the boiling point of water as 100 degrees, while the Fahrenheit scale uses 32 degrees and 212 degrees as the respective reference points.
Temperature is measured using a device called a thermometer. A thermometer typically contains a liquid or gas that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The expansion or contraction is then translated into a numerical value on a scale, which indicates the temperature.
The most commonly used unit of measurement for temperature is degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). However, there are other units such as Kelvin (K), which is used in scientific research and is based on the absolute zero point of temperature.
Yes, temperature can be negative. In the Celsius scale, temperatures below 0 degrees are considered negative, while in the Fahrenheit scale, temperatures below 32 degrees are considered negative. In both scales, negative temperatures indicate temperatures below the freezing point of water.
There are several factors that can affect temperature measurement, such as the type of thermometer used, the accuracy of the thermometer, the location and environment where the measurement is taken, and the material being measured. Other factors, such as human error and external heat sources, can also affect temperature measurement.
