It doesn't, it measures atmospheric pressure. Humidity is measured with a hygrometer.
* Some long case mercurial barometers, used in the home, may have a separate hygrometer included on the instrument.

∙ 15y agoIt doesnt. A barometer measures the pressure in the atmosphere. This is what effects precipitation and humidity. Dont think of it like a thermometer, it works the other way round. Low pressure mains rain is on its way. High pressure means its not. This is why they talk about pressure on weather forecasts.

∙ 15y agoNo. A barometer measures air pressure. However, often a humidity indicator is also built into the cabinet or case that displays the barometer. Thus both measurement instruments are seen together, but the case or unit comprising both instruments is still usually called a barometer.

What is the instument used to find relative humidity?
barometer A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not humidity. A hygrometer measures humidity.
What instruments are used to measure the atmospheric pressure?
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.
What is the instrument for weather?
Barometer (barometric pressure) Thermometer (temp) & rain guage (amt of rainfall in inches)
Air pressure is typically measured with a?
Air pressure is measured with a barometer.
What is a weather balloon?
Weather balloons typically carry a thermometer (to measure air temperature), a psychrometer (to measure humidity), a barometer (to measure air pressure) and a transmitter (to send the information through radio waves to equipment at the ground so we will know what the instruments are measuring up in the air)
What instrument Measures and records humidity and air pressure?
2 instruments are required to accomplish these measurements:a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure.a hygrometer to measure humidity.
Does a barometer measures humidity?
No
Can humidity effect the reading of a barometer?
No , a Barometer measures air pressure.
How do barometer-work?
precipitation and humidity
What is the instument used to find relative humidity?

What measures HUMMITY?
a barometer so just do not feel bad the only reason i know that was cause i had to use a barometer in the 5th grade so.add. BUT if you wanted to measure Humidity then you would use a hygrometer or a dew point meter.
Match each measurement tool with what it measures psychrometer thermometer anemometer barometer wind speed temperature humidity air pressure?
hygrometers- measure humidity barometers-measure air pressure wind socks-measure wind direction and speed anemometers-wind speed just got them right on apex
What is the importance of barometer?
barometer is used to measure air pressure
What is called the barometer of a circle?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. A circle does not have a barometer!
