    The thermometer has evolved significantly over centuries. Galileo built the first thermoscope in 1593 to measure temperature changes. The first liquid-in-glass thermometer was created in 1654 using alcohol. In 1714, Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer and established the Fahrenheit temperature scale. Celsius later invented his temperature scale in 1742. Modern thermometers use electrical sensors and digital readouts rather than liquid-filled glass tubes, though the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales remain standard.

    Evolution of Thermometer

    - The first thermoscope to be built was introduced by Galileo Galilei in 1593. It was used to measure the change of temperature of a
    substance.
    - In 1612 Santorio Santorio built a first thermoscope that have a scale placed on it.
    - In 1654 the Duke of Tuscany Ferdinand 11’s invented the first liquid in a glass thermometer. The liquid used on it was alcohol.
    - In 1714 a German Physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the Mercury Thermometer and in year 1724 he introduced the
    standard temperature scale which was named after him – the Fahrenheit Scale.
    - In year 1742 a Swedish Astronomer named Anders Celsius invented the Celsius Scale. The term Celsius was adopted in 1948 by an
    international conference on weights and measures.
    - In 1848 Lord Kelvin invented the Kelvin Scale which measures the ultimate extremes of hot and cold, and developed the idea of
    absolute temperature which is now widely known as the second law of thermodynamics.
    - In year 1867 the first real medical thermometer was invented by Sir Thomas Allbut. It was six inches long and took about five minutes
    to take a person’s temperature.
    - For almost a hundred-year thermometers were basically unchanged. They contained alcohol or mercury and were considered to be
    very accurate. More modern thermometers were developed after World War II that used infrared technology and placed in the ear.
    They utilized tiny electrical circuits and numerical readouts that could measure temperature more quickly and with more precision
    than the liquid filled glass tubes. Today modern thermometers use some type of electrical sensors to measure temperature, but the
    same numerical scales developed in the 1700’s by Fahrenheit and Celsius are still being used.

    Additional for Units:

    - Réaumur (°Ré, °Re)


    o Réaumur scales were introduced by Réne de Réaumur in 1730. It has the reference points being the freezing point of water
    0 °Ré and boiling point of water being 80 °Ré. The Réaumur scale was used in some parts of Europe and Russia, but it has
    mainly disappeared during the last century.i
