The resolution of a thermometer refers to the smallest interval or increment between temperature readings that the thermometer is capable of measuring. It indicates the level of detail or precision with which temperature can be recorded. A higher resolution thermometer will be able to detect smaller changes in temperature compared to a lower resolution thermometer.
The resolution of a digital thermometer is the smallest incremental change in temperature that the thermometer can detect and display. It is typically expressed in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. For example, a thermometer with a resolution of 0.1°C can display temperature changes as small as one-tenth of a degree.
The sensitivity of a thermometer can be increased by using a finer scale or increasing the resolution of the measurement gradations. Using a material with a higher thermal expansion coefficient may also improve sensitivity. Additionally, reducing the heat capacitance of the thermometer can make it more responsive to temperature changes.
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
The plural of thermometer is thermometers.
An ear thermometer is commonly referred to as a tympanic thermometer.

A higher resolution on a thermometer means that it can measure smaller changes in temperature, which can be useful in certain situations where precise temperature readings are needed. However, for general household use, a standard resolution thermometer would be sufficient.
