Galileo thermometers offer a unique decorative alternative to the traditional thermometer instrument. Galileo thermometers are filled with a clear liquid that suspends multiple colored weights. As the liquid within the weights changes temperature their density changes allowing the weights to rise or fall. The lowest weight at the very top of the Galileo reflects the temperature.
