A Galileo thermometer is based on
the principles that the density of a fluid expands and contracts
depending on temperature. The thermometer consists of a liquid in a
seal cylinder with several calibrated liquid filled glass sphere
fitted with differing metal weights. Since the spheres are of
slightly different weights, as the temperature changes the spheres
rise or fall in sequence according to their weight. If the temperate
decreases the spheres rise. If it increases the sphere fall. The
movement of the spheres is entirely dependent on the environmental
changes and not because of any action of the spheres.
