Checking my phone for the temperature, I see that its currently 91 degrees but it feels like 99. Got me wondering how thermometers work/how they came to be and how they calculate “what it feels like.”

It’s just like a traditional thermometer, measuring expansion or contraction of a liquid. However, the thermometer in your phone is much smaller, and it doesn’t measure liquid.
