Hobby Lobby Galileo Thermometer

A Galileo thermometer is designed more for decorative appeal than precision. While it provides a general sense of the room's temperature, it is not as accurate as a digital thermometer and should be viewed as a conversation piece rather than a scientific instrument.

To read the temperature, look at the lowest floating bulb in the upper half of the cylinder. The temperature is indicated by the metal tag attached to that specific bulb.

No, this thermometer is intended for indoor use only. Extreme temperature fluctuations or direct sunlight outdoors can damage the glass or affect the liquid's buoyancy, and it is not designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions.

No assembly is required, and it does not use batteries or electricity. It functions entirely on the principle of buoyancy, relying on the ambient room temperature to move the liquid-filled bulbs.

Yes, the thermometer is made of glass and should be handled with care. It is a freestanding decorative piece, so it is best placed on a stable, flat surface away from high-traffic areas where it could be knocked over.
