An aneroid barometer, invented by the French 19th century engineer and inventor Lucien Vidie, uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell. This aneroid capsule (cell) is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper. The evacuated capsule (or usually more capsules) is prevented from collapsing by a strong spring. Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or contract. This expansion and contraction drives mechanical levers such that the tiny movements of the capsule are amplified and displayed on the face of the aneroid barometer.
A mercury barometer has a glass tube of at least 84 cm in height, closed at one end, with an open Mercury-filled reservoir at the base. The weight of the mercury creates a vacuum in the top of the tube. Mercury in the tube adjusts until the weight of the mercury column balances the atmospheric force exerted on the reservoir. High atmospheric pressure places more force on the reservoir, forcing mercury higher in the column. Low pressure allows the mercury to drop to a lower level in the column by lowering the force placed on the reservoir. Since higher temperature at the instrument will reduce the density of the mercury, the scale for reading the height of the mercury is adjusted to compensate for this effect.
A mercury barometer works by, measuring the height of a column of mercury in a sealed tube, supported by the atmospheric pressure.
An aneroid barometer measures the amount of distortion of a sealed metal can, due to changes in atmospheric pressure. The equivalent column of mercury supported by a mercury barometer, can then be calibrated in mmHg by comparison.
Both instruments do the same job and can be calibrated in Millibars or mmHg, or both.
A Mercury Barometer and an Aneroid Barometer are alike because they both messure air pressure. They are different because and aneroid barometer does NOT use mercury, and of course a Mercury Barometer does use mercury.

An aneroid barometer,invented by the French 19th century engineer and inventor Lucien Vidie, uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell. This aneroid capsule (cell) is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper.[9] The evacuated capsule (or usually more capsules) is prevented from collapsing by a strong spring. Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or contract. This expansion and contraction drives mechanical levers such that the tiny movements of the capsule are amplified and displayed on the face of the aneroid barometer. Many models include a manually set needle which is used to mark the current measurement so a change can be seen. In addition, the mechanism is made deliberately "stiff" so that tapping the barometer reveals whether the pressure is rising or falling as the pointer moves.

they both measure the change in air pressure
The main similarity between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer is that both of them measure air pressure. The former uses liquid mercury while the latter does not use the same.
An aneroid barometer is an instrument that measures air pressure without using liquid. A mercury barometer is an instrument used to measure air pressure using liquid mercury.
Aneroid barometers have airtight metal chambers and a vacuum and a Mercury on is a glass tube

Mercury barometer precaution
The answer to this question is, the Mercury and aneroid barometer
The aneroid barometer most commonly used today would be the tiny quartz transducers built into GPS units, sports wrist watches and the like.These would outnumber mercury column types, and other aneroid ones.
Usually the instrument used is called a barometer- which could be a closed end manometer or an aneroid barometer.An altimeter actually also measures atmospheric pressures - but for a different purpose.
To measure the local pressure of the Earth's atmosphere, Torricelli invented the first Mercury Barometer.
One statement to accurately describe a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer is that a mercury barometer is a closed tube containing mercury. An aneroid barometer is a closed, flexible container of gas.
their spelling is different.
their spelling is different.
anaeriod barometer and a mercury barometer
Usually no difference at all. They can both move a pointer around a circular scale. The scale can be calibrated in both Inches of Mercury (InHg) or Millbars (Mb). An aneroid system can lend itself more easily to a digital display.

The first barometer that was invented was the MERCURY barometer. a mercury barometer consists of a glass tube open at the bottom end and partially filled with mercury. (:

The most commonly used barometer is the mercury barometer.However, it is not easy to transport but it gives more accurate results. Another type of barometer is Aneroid barometer which is easy to transport and handle.
mercury has a sudden fall and then the barometter measure it and when i mean by fall i mean air pressure so yeah it's cool I knoe it doesn't make sense but Im just writing this anyway. Even though it's pure glorius silly you know what. I PUT THAT WORD BUT THEY WON'T LET ME POST THIS STUPID ANSWER
