Answered by maham237 @



For thermometers to read temperatures correctly, they must be immersed in the substance being measured while reading the temperature. When they are taken out the substance, there is a possibility that the fluid inside would change its level due to the sudden change in the temperature. Thus, giving you an erroneous reading of the temperature.
