Actually, a barometer is an instrument for measuring air pressure, or atmospheric pressure, but not wind speed or the "pressure" of a wind. This atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the point of measurement. The instrument that measures wind speed is called an anemometer. Wind direction is indicated by a weather vane.
No. A barometer measures pressure. Wind speed is measured by an anemometer.

A wind vane measures direction of the wind. Millibars are a measure of pressure. A barometer measures in millibars.
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is taken as 1 atmosphere for all intensive purposes. Atmospheric pressure near to the surface of the earth is about 1 atm. If we go above it decreases and increases we move towards the center of the earth.
No, a barometer measures air pressure. Though wind is caused by variances in air pressure the direct measurement of wind is done by an anemometeryes

compass points. Usually a wind vane which swings into line with the direction of the wind.
Wind Speed Is measured In Knots.No, a wind vane only gives wind direction. Wind speed is measure with an anemometer.
in miles per hourThe wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks.The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks.The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
