The longitude (abbreviation: Long., Î», or lambda) of a point on the Earth's surface is the angle east or west from a reference meridian to another meridian that passes through that point. All meridians are halves of great ellipses (often improperly called great circles), which converge at the north and south poles.
Use the dual thermometers to calculate relative humidity. Fisher Scientific Mason's Hygrometer has one dry thermometer and one wet thermometer which provide temperature readings for determining the relative humidity.
Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer. English physician, Sir Thomas Allbutt invented the first medical thermometer used for taking the temperature of a person in 1867.
