It is indirect measurement. A thermometer, for example, measures the expansion of an appropriate fluid - alcohol or Mercury. Some instruments (thermocouples) measure the differential expansions of metal strips

Why is direct variation important?

Because it is a very common form of mathematical relationships, for example, in very many conversions from one measurement unit to another.


What are numbers from a measurement called?

Numbers obtained from a measurement are called "data" or "measurement values." These values represent quantifiable attributes of an object or phenomenon, such as length, weight, temperature, or volume. In scientific contexts, they often form the basis for analysis and interpretation in experiments or studies.

What is the scale of measurement on a stevensons screen?

A Stevenson's screen is designed to house meteorological instruments and is typically used to measure temperature and humidity. The scale of measurement for temperature in a Stevenson screen is usually in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, while humidity is often measured in percentage (%). The screen itself does not have a scale; instead, it provides a controlled environment for accurate measurements of these variables by shielding instruments from direct sunlight and precipitation.


How many different ways can you measure a puddle?

You could measure a puddle in various ways, which might, assuming basic instruments of measure are used, include:circumference or perimeter (linear measurement)color (subjective observatory measurement)color at different times of day and in different weather conditions, and so on (subjective observatory measurement)depth (linear measurement)surface area (area measurement)temperature of contents (Celsius)temperature of contents (Fahrenheit)time taken to be drunk by a dog of a particular age, weight and breed (time measurement)time taken to empty (time measurement)time taken to evaporate under various temperature controls (time and temperature measurement)time taken to fill (time measurementvolume of contents (capacity/volume measurement)weight of contents (weight/mass measurement)

Why is the temperature of air taken in shade?

Temperature of air is taken in shade to reduce the influence of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can significantly heat up surfaces which can lead to inaccurate temperature readings. Taking the temperature in shade ensures a more reliable and consistent measurement of the actual air temperature.
