The 2HOT Thermometer displays temperature to 5 significant figures when activated and right-clicked.
Usage
The temperature rises if you fire an engine. No methods are known to reduce temperature (except, of course, to go to space or to stop firing your engine(s), though this can be mitigated by attaching parts as "heat sinks." The 2HOT also measures the ambient temperature. This can be used to determine atmosphere temperatures. Sunlight will affect the measured temperature, but not in a consistent manner; being in the shade can cause a thermometer to give lower read-outs, but getting close to Kerbol does not raise the temperature.
While active, the thermometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (27 E/hr).
The 2HOT cannot be used to earn science while distant from a celestial body, although it will continue to tell the temperature. Science can be generated by the 2HOT as long as you are within some small distance of the celestial body, even if you are in a vacuum, unlike the PresMat Barometer.
