WHAT DOES THERMOMETRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

thermometry

Temperature measurement

Attempts of standardized temperature measurement have been reported as early as 170 AD by Claudius Galenus. The modern scientific field has its origins in the works by Florentine scientists in the 17th century. Early devices to measure temperature were called thermoscopes. The first sealed thermometer was constructed in 1641 by the Grand Duke of Toscani, Ferdinand II. The development of today's thermometers and temperature scales began in the early 18th century, when Gabriel Fahrenheit adapted a thermometer using mercury and a scale both developed by Ole Christensen Rømer. Fahrenheit's scale is still in use, alongside the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale.

Definition of thermometry in the English dictionary

The definition of thermometry in the dictionary is the branch of physics concerned with the measurement of temperature and the design and use of thermometers and pyrometers.
