Temperature is a measure of a molecular motion
Air temperature is one of those things that everyone is familiar with that's more
complicated than it might seem at first. What thermometers actually measure is the average kinetic
energy of air molecules that surround it. Air molecules in colder air move slowly compared to the
molecules in warmer air. The kinetic energy of an air molecule is directly proportional to the
velocity of the molecule. As a result, colder air has less kinetic energy than warmer air. When air
molecules collide with a thermometer, kinetic energy is transferred from the air molecules to the
glass and then to the mercury molecules inside the thermometer. As the mercury molecules begin moving
faster they move farther apart, pushing the mercury up in the thermometer. In colder air, the energy
from the air molecules colliding with the thermometer transferring to the mercury molecules is less
than the energy from warmer air. As a result, the mercury molecules move slower in the colder air and
the mercury inside the thermometer does not expand as far up the tube as it does in the warmer air.
