* Clinical thermometers: These are designed for human body temperature, typically ranging from 94°F to 108°F (34°C to 42°C).
* Room thermometers: Used to measure room temperature, they typically range from -20°F to 120°F (-30°C to 50°C).
* Oven thermometers: Designed for measuring temperatures inside ovens, their range can go much higher, typically from 0°F to 500°F (0°C to 260°C).
* Laboratory thermometers: These can be specialized for different applications and have a wide range of possible values. For example, a laboratory thermometer measuring boiling points might go from -50°C to 300°C.
Therefore, there's no single "range of a thermometer." The specific range depends on the intended use and the type of thermometer.
