AcuRite Galileo Thermometer with Glass Globe Barometer

This attractive set features a Galileo thermometer and a glass barometer globe printed with a frosted world map, mounted on a sturdy wooden base. The Galileo thermometer reads temperatures ranging from 64 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, with the liquid-filled bulbs sinking and rising in response to changes in temperature. Variations in barometric pressure associated with weather systems are immediately revealed by the water level in the spout of the glass barometer globe - a low level of liquid indicates high-pressure and fair weather, while a high water level is associated with bad weather. In cases of severe weather and major storms, the water may even run out of the spout. Both the thermometer and the globe are approximately 8 inches long and 8 inches high, and the set is inspired by Galileo's instruments, interpreting temperature and weather based on the principles of buoyancy and air pressure. The colorful, liquid-filled spheres of the thermometer descend and ascend with atmospheric changes, providing a visually engaging and functional display.
