1. Bulb thermometers measure temperature with alcohol or mercury. When you put the thermometer into the thing or person that you need to know the temperature of the mercury/alcohol expands/ shrinks with changes with temperature difference so when you put it into a cup of water that is 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it shrinks to that number on the side of the thermometer.
2. They are alike because they all measure temperature. They are different because each scale is different. For example, 32 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 0 degrees Celsius.
3. 5.0 Celsius equals 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. 460 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. It would take 50K.
(I would like to thank wiki.answers.com/ for giving me the formula for the last one).
