Temperature : A temperature sensor is a device used to measure temperature. This can be air temperature, liquid temperature or the temperature of solid matter. There are different types of temperature sensors available and they each use different technologies and principles to take the temperature measurement.
Position : Most common way of classifying the wide spectrum of sensors is based on the specific application of the sensor. Sensor used for measuring humidity is termed as humidity sensor, the one used for measurement of pressure is called pressure sensor, sensor used for measurement of liquid level is called level sensor and so on though all of them may be using the same sensing principle. In a similar fashion, the sensor used for measurement of position is called a position sensor.
