You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.
A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.

A barometer will do the trick.

What instrument measures hot or cold air?
a thermometer
Explain how a barometer and a thermometer are alike?
A thermometer and a barometer are alike, because a thermometer tells temperature, and a barometer tells air pressure. They sort off connect, because when you have lower air pressure, you get colder temperatures and when you have higher air pressure, you know then that the temperature will be hotter. You can kinda tell by looking at only one piece of data, what the other piece might be. I'm pretty sure that's right, I'm only in 7th grade.
What is the weather term of how heavy the air is?
Air Pressure
How is air temperature usually measured?
Thermometer
Do you measure air temperature in shade or in sunlight?
Air temperature should be measured in the shade. Sunlight falling on the instrument, the thermometer, will heat up the temperature receptor through radiation, causing the reading to be incorrectly high. For greater accuracy, place thermometer inside a box-like device called a Stevenson screen. Its purpose is to provide a standardized environment in which to measure temperature, humidity, dewpoint and atmospheric pressure. This product works by preventing sunlight from hitting the receptor on the thermometer, but it still allows air to circulate in and out. This device is also known as a cotton region shelter, an instrument shelter, a thermometer shelter, a thermo-screen or a thermometer screen.
How is a thermometer able to measure air?
a barometer is used to measure the air pressure, not a thermometer! A thermometer is used to measure the temperature.
Does a thermometer tell you air pressure?
No a barometer does a thermometer measures temperature
A thermometer is to air temperature as a blank is to air pressure?
barometer
Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube?
Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending mercury.
Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in glass tube?
Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending Mercury.
A student is studying how the air pressure in a basketball depends on its temperature what measuring instruments are needed for this experiment?
a pressure gauge and a thermometer.
What is in a thermometer and a barometer?
A thermometer measures temperature - most are now electric but they used to have alcohol or mercury in them. A barometer measures air pressure - they are now electric but used to have air in them (in a bellows with a spring).
What would you use to measure the elevation above sea level on air temperature and air pressure?
elevation above sea level . . . barometer or GPS air temperature . . . thermometer air pressure . . . barometer
What is constant pressure gas thermometer?
the thermometer that works on constant pressure
What is the different between barometer and thermometer?
A barometer measures the barometric pressure of the atmosphere. This has to do with the relative humidity. The more moisture suspended in the air, the more it weighs. A weather thermometer measures the temperature of the air.
What types of equipment would be used to measure the boiling point of a liquid?
You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
What measures air pressure temperature humidity and wind?
a barometer measures air pressure. an anemometer measures wind speed. a thermometer measures temperature.
