MCQ
The temperature of the sun is measured with
  • A
    Platinum thermometer
  • B
    Gas thermometer
  • ✓
    Pyrometer
  • D
    Vapour pressure thermometer
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Pyrometer
(c) Pyrometer can measure temperature from $800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $6000^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Hence temperature of sun is measured with pyrometer.
