    A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object). A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature; and (2) some means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the digital readout on an infrared model). Thermometers are widely used in technology and industry to monitor processes, in meteorology, in medicine, and in scientific research.

    温度計(おんどけい)は温度を測定する計器である。温度変化に伴う物性の変化等の物理現象を利用して温度を測定する。一般的に温度を計るものは温度計と呼ばれるが、特定の用途に応じた名前を持つものもある(体温計等)。
