It will measure a much higher temperature than that of the air.<\/p>\n<p>When a liquid thermometer is held in direct sunlight, the liquid inside the thermometer will be heated by the sun&#8217;s rays. This will cause the liquid to expand and rise up the thermometer, giving a reading that is higher than the actual air temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the thermometer will not accurately measure the air temperature. The liquid inside the thermometer will be heated by the sun&#8217;s rays, causing it to expand and rise up the thermometer. This will give a reading that is higher than the actual air temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because the thermometer will not measure a much lower temperature than that of the air.

This will give a reading that is higher than the actual air temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Option D is incorrect because the thermometer will not measure the temperature of the sun rather than the air.
