Question

Why is the sense of touch not sufficient to measure temperature scientifically?

पर्याय

• Touch can burn our hands

• Touch gives only a rough idea, not an exact measurement

• Touch measures weight, not temperature

• Touch works only for cold objects

Answer 1

Touch gives only a rough idea, not an exact measurement

Explanation:

We feel things as hot or cold by touch, but this is only a rough idea. Science requires an exact quantity (temperature) for precise measurement.
