a barometer is used to measure the air pressure, not a thermometer! A thermometer is used to measure the temperature.

When thermometer is placed in direct sunlight will it read the temperature of air or sun or something else?

When a thermometer is placed in direct sunlight, it will not accurately read the air temperature. Instead, it will measure the temperature of the thermometer itself, which can be influenced by the direct heat from the sun. This can cause the thermometer to show a higher reading than the actual air temperature. Ideally, thermometers should be shielded from direct sunlight to provide an accurate measure of air temperature.
