What is baromatic pressure?

Hi Falling barometric pressure means the atmosphere at the barometer is becoming less heavy. It also generally means a storm of some sort is coming with inclement weather. Here's a link to use for using a barometer and clouds to forecast the weather: http://web2.iadfw.net/danb1/clouds.htm


What happens when barometric pressure increases?

When the barometric pressure rises it means calm fair weather is coming or is already occurring. When the barometric pressure falls it means foul weather is on the way such as rain and storms and clouds.

What are the use of barometer?

Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure, which can help predict weather changes. They are also used in aviation to ensure safe flying conditions and in industries that involve the use of vacuum systems.


Is mm Hg and milileters a unit of air pressure?

Yes, mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) is a unit of air pressure commonly used in barometric pressure measurements. Milliliters (mL), on the other hand, is a unit of volume and is not used to measure air pressure.


What is barometric pressure measured by?

A barometer measures atmospheric pressure to determine weather or altitude changes.


What do barometers measure?

Atmospheric (or barometric) pressure. By measuring this you are able to predict short term changes in weather.


Could a mercury barometer be used to measure the barometric pressure of the atmosphere on mars?

No, a mercury barometer relies on the density and height of a column of mercury in a tube to measure atmospheric pressure. However, Mars has a thin atmosphere with low pressure, so mercury would not provide accurate readings. Other pressure-measuring devices, like electronic sensors, would be more suitable for measuring barometric pressure on Mars.


How are blood pressure and barometric pressure associated?

Changes in barometric pressure can affect blood pressure, especially in individuals who have cardiovascular conditions. When barometric pressure drops, it can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to lower blood pressure. Conversely, when barometric pressure rises, it can cause blood vessels to constrict, resulting in higher blood pressure.


What can a barometers be used for?

A barometer measures barometric pressure, that is, atmospheric pressure. Because air flows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, rising or falling barometric pressure tells us that we should expect a change in the weather. For example, a storm is often preceded by a drop in barometric pressure. A barometer is an indispensable tool for a meteorologist, a captain of a ship, or anyone else who needs to predict the weather.
