1. A thermometer for attaching to a body surface to measure a body temperature, the thermometer comprising:
a thermal resistor having a prescribed thermal resistance value and disposed substantially parallel to an inner surface of a lower outer body of the thermometer in a cross-sectional view;
a plurality of temperature sensors disposed along a thickness direction of the thermal resistor; and
a wiring board disposed substantially parallel to the thermal resistor and on which a processing circuit is mounted that is configured to process detection signals from the plurality of temperature sensors,
wherein the thermal resistor comprises a plurality of thermal resistor layers disposed substantially parallel to the inner surface of the lower outer body of the thermometer, and
wherein the plurality of temperature sensors are adjacent to the plurality of thermal resistor layers in a direction parallel to the inner surface of the lower outer body and do not overlap the plurality of thermal resistor layers in the thickness direction that is perpendicular to the direction parallel to the inner surface.
