Temperature is the degree of hotness (or coldness) of a body, and can be regarded as a measure of the internal energy contained within the body.
Each of these possible changes forms the basis of a temperature measuring device. The most common devices for measuring temperature are:
i. The liquid-in-glass thermometer
ii. The thermocouple
iii. The electrical resistance thermometer
iv. Pyrometers
ii. The thermocouple

Good estimates of the temperature of a body can also be made by making use of heat-sensitive paints, crayons and Seger cones.
