It’s a thermometer whose movement is triggered by every change in temperature. Halfway between a scientific instrument and a kinetic statuette, this original globe-style Galileo thermometer will make an exceptional addition to your decor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Galileo Globe Thermometer?
It is a Galileo thermometer shaped like a globe instead of a tube. It shows the temperature by the position of the balls inside, not a map of the world.
How do I read the temperature?
Check which balls float and which sink. The ball that floats lowest of the group indicates the current temperature. It works because the liquid’s density changes with the temperature.
What temperature range and size does it have?
It contains 5 balls and measures from 18 to 28°C. The globe measures 18 cm by 13 cm.
What is it made of?
It is made of glass and wood. The liquid inside is described as non-toxic and non-hazardous.

Bought this for my study and I keep catching myself staring at it. The coloured bulbs rise and sink as the liquid changes density with the room temperature, and the one that hovers in the middle gives you the reading. Clever bit of physics, and it looks like a proper ornament rather than a gadget. My son asked if he could have one for his room, so I may be ordering again.

Got this for our grandson’s birthday and he grinned from ear to ear. He now checks it every morning before school. Lovely.

ordered a few bits from here before and this didn’t let me down. Nicely made, arrived well wrapped and sits happily on the bookshelf in the lounge. Only thing is the temperature markings are a touch small to read from across the room, but that’s nitpicking really.
Jessica Browne –
The Galileo Globe Thermometer looks brilliant on my desk. Mesmerising to watch the little globes rise and fall with the temperature.
Michael Harrison –
Got this for my grandson who’s into science. He was chuffed to bits and fascinated by how it works. Really a fab way to spark curiosity about temperature and physics. Postie’s been and gone, and now it’s got pride of place in his room!
