Why is vernier caliper or a micrometer gauge more accurate for taking measurements than a meter stick?

The caliper and micrometer use a dial or digital readout to measure the distance between the tips. The tolerances of these tools can be under .001 inch, making them extremely accurate.

Which is more accurate vernier caliper or a meter stick measurements?
A vernier caliper.
Advantage and disadvantage using meter stick vernier caliper and the micrometer caliper?
A meter stick caliper is very large and would make general measurements. A micrometer caliper is much smaller and can be used to make much smaller measurements.
Why is a vernier caliper used to measure length?
Vernier calipers are used to measure length when quite accurate measurement is required, but not such accuracy as to require a micrometer.
How do you measure the width of a pencil?
A vernier caliper would be a good way, unless you need a more accurate measurement, in which case I might use a micrometer caliper.

What are the similarities between vernier caliper and micrometer screw gauge?
both are used in accurate measuring in a wide range of environments
Would you gain using the micrometer instead of the vernier caliper to measure the diameter of the rod?
yes,probably we will get accurate measurement.

What is the difference between Screw Gauge and Vernier Caliper?
*Micrometer have a rotary handle and whereas vernier have a slider. *Micrometer is for measuring diameters while vernier is for measuring inside & outside diameter as well as depth. *Least Count of Vernier Caliper is 0.02mm *Least Count of Micrometer is 0.01mm
What you i use to measure the width of a penny?
Micrometer or vernier caliper
What the apparatus that can be used to measure the diameter of a copper wire?
vernier-caliper
Which is more accurate ruler or a vernier caliper?
A caliper is more accurate.
What is a conclusion about micrometer and vernier caliper?
In case for micrometer, principle of pitch is used. Least count could be even micro meter But in vernier caliper, difference of main scale division and vernier scale division is the principle Least count could be 0.02 mm
