A barometer measures barometric pressure. Which is also known as Atmospheric Pressure. That's the pressure in the atmosphere that pushes down on you. When atmospheric pressure falls it can be a sign of potential t-storms and/or rain. Whereas when it rises it can be a sign of potentially fair weather.

What is the use of barometer in detail?
barometer is an instrument used to measure the pressure in the atmosphere and it also gives as an accurate reading.
Could a mercury barometer be used to measure the barometric pressure of the atmosphere on mars?
no it could not as the tempratues are very different
How does an aneroid barometer measure atmospheric pressure?
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.
Which weather instrument is use to measure air pressure?
The barometer is the instrument that is used to measure the air pressure.
Why was a barometer invented?
To measure atmosphere pressure
What is the use of barometer in detail?

Torricelli invented a device for measuring air pressure called a(n)?
To measure the local pressure of the Earth's atmosphere, Torricelli invented the first Mercury Barometer.
Is used to measure the amount of the water vapor in the atmosphere?
barometer/hygrometer/thermometer
What does a barrow meter measure?
I think you could be referring to a barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure and is an indicator of when it will rain or shine.
Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?
You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.
What Measures AtMosphere Pressure?
A Barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
What type of barometer used in aircraft?
Aircraft use an Aneroid Barometer, which uses a bellows and spring to measure changes in the earth's atmosphere from air pressure, unlike mercury or water barometers which use a liquid to measure these changes.
Could a mercury barometer be used to measure the barometric pressure of the atmosphere on mars?
no it could not as the tempratues are very different
What is barometric pressure measured by?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure to determine weather or altitude changes.
