A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or Mercury.
An aneroid barometer is a barometer which measures pressure without using fluids!
An aneroid barometer is somewhat different and uses a sealed chamber upon which the fluctuating atmospheric pressure acts. Through mechanical means a pointer is moved on a calibrated scale.

What does the balloon barometer measure?
A balloon barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
What are the uses of anaroid barometer?
A barometer is used to measure barometric pressure. An aneroid barometer has a sealed chamber with some air removed, creating a vacuum. A chain, lever, or spring connects a needle to a plastic disc covering the container. The pointer moves left to right as the air pressure increases or decreases.
What weather factor does a barometer measure in?
atmospheric pressure
An instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure is called what?
A barometer.
Why can an aneroid barometer measure elevations as well as air pressure?
The aneroid measures elevation and air pressure has an airtight chamber that is sensetive to changes in the air pressures. Hope this helps.
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 2 instruments commonly used to measure air pressure?
I think it is a barometer and aneroid barometer
What instrument is used is normally used to measure atmospheric pressure?
A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can also measure altitude!
What do mercury barometer measure?
It measure the Atmospheric Pressure.
Uses of barometer?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. It does so by comparing the atmospheric pressure with a predefined standard pressure.
What dose a barometer measure?
Atmospheric pressure
What does a barometer tell you?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure.
What does the balloon barometer measure?
A balloon barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
What to instruments are used to measure air pressure?
A barometer is one. That's all I know. I have homework to do regarding 2 instruments to measure air pressure. ADDED: The Aneroid Barometer, as you say, for atmospheric pressure. Also typically, a Bourdon-principle pressure-gauge for anything much higher, such as tyre pressures.
What are the uses of anaroid barometer?
A barometer is used to measure barometric pressure. An aneroid barometer has a sealed chamber with some air removed, creating a vacuum. A chain, lever, or spring connects a needle to a plastic disc covering the container. The pointer moves left to right as the air pressure increases or decreases.
What do mercury barometers and aneroid barometer do?
They both measure air pressure, but in different ways
What instrument is normally use measure atmospheric pressure?
A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can also measure altitude!
