Why does the alcohol level in the thermometer rises or falls when you place it in water?

If you place teh thermometer in warmer fluid the alcohol level will rise because of the constant motion and / or vibration of molecules..the highe the temp the more room ther is for molecules to spread out that is why it rises.

no, i was listening to water by schoolboy q while and i saw this question

explenation:

water isn't wet. wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. we, or our possessions, 'get wet'. a less impinging sense experience of water is that it is cold or warm, while visual experience tells us that it is green or blue or muddy or fast-flowing. we learn by experience that a sensation of wetness is associated with water: 'there must be a leak/i must have sat in something.'
