What Is The History Behind The Galileo Thermometer?
The thermometer portion of the instrument works is based on the Natural Law of Physics that was discovered by Galileo Galilei. Galileo is often called the Father of Modern Physics. It was Galileo who established the principle that liquids change in density as temperature changes. While searching for the exact temperature measurements, the brilliant Galileo discovered a fascinating method. It is thought that Galileo got cold while outside at night using his other invention, the telescope, and learned that in liquid, a solid body of the same weight and size is compelled to go down as the temperature rises. On the other had, the solid body goes up in liquid if the temperature falls. The modern Galileo Thermometer is a replica based on Galileo’s experiments. When the temperature rises, the liquid in the glass cylinder becomes less dense and spheres sink slowly, one by one. On the other hand, the spheres will rise as the temperature decreases. In these instruments, the glass balls in the tu
