Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Temperature is not measured by measuring expansion in gases since gases expand the most. Temperature is usually measured through the expansion in liquids. Gases expand the most; therefore, they fail to give a correct reading. Gases expand due to heat. Temperature is a physical quantity that gives us an idea of how hot a substance is.
There are three scales to measure temperature.
●       Celsius scale
●       Fahrenheit scale
●       Kelvin scale
The correct statement would be that temperature is not measured by measuring expansion in gases since gases expand the most.
