The first Mercury thermometer was created by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714. He used mercury because it expands and contracts very uniformly with changes in temperature.
In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer.......The Celsius scale, invented by Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744)
The mercury thermometer was invented in 1714 by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit . Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was a Dutch-German-Polish physicist, engineer, and glass blower who is best known for inventing the mercury-in-glass thermometer, and for developing a temperature scale now named after him.
Yes, Gabriel Fahrenheit did invent the mercury thermometer around 1714. His design included a standardized scale with 180 equal divisions. The use of mercury in the thermometer allowed for more accurate and consistent temperature readings compared to previous designs.
The first person credited with inventing the thermometer in 1593 was Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist and astronomer. He developed a device called the thermoscope, which later evolved into the modern thermometer.
It was Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
Galileo invented an air thermometer in about 1600, but changes in atmospheric pressure made accurate measurement difficult. Liquids were quickly used instead and Gabriel Fahrenheit was the first to use alcohol (1709) and mercury (1714), in a thermometer.

The first modern thermometer, the mercury thermometer with a standardized scale, was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714.
Using a thermometer we can measure the temperature.
Daniel FahrenheitGalileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian physicist, invented a basic air thermometer. That is the first known inventor. But we do know that the Ancient Greeks had basic thermometers but it is unknown who made it.
In 1724 Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer.
Mercury in a Mercury thermometer is typically silver in color.
It could be used to do this - it is capable of doing it. However, Mercury is poisonous and a mercury thermometer is made out of fragile glass. Thus the danger that the thermometer would break releasing mercury into the milk (which would be for a person to drink) means that a mercury thermomiter is not the temperature sensor to use in this instance.

No, the external bulb of a thermometer is typically made of glass to hold the mercury inside. Mercury is usually contained within the glass bulb to measure temperature accurately without exposing the user to the toxic substance.
