Which will have a higher temperature reading—a thermometer inside a mitten laying on a table or a thermometer laying on the same table in the same room conditions? Explain your answer.
Please give a real answer; it doesn't have to be long.
I typed your question into Google and I found this response.
"Both thermometers will have the same temperature. Because there is no additional heat source, there will be no change in temperature. The mitten is an insulator, but it does not produce heat."
