Because it has a high density... meaning that the volume increase or decrease due to altitude change is can be viewed in a practical sized barometer. If water, which had a much lower density, was used instead of Mercury, the barometer must be at least 15m high.
An aneroid barometer is mainly used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can be used to predict weather changes by tracking fluctuations in pressure. This can be particularly useful for activities such as weather forecasting, aviation, and hiking.
The barometer is used to measure air pressure, which can help predict changes in the weather.
The first barometer was made by the Italian physicist Torricelli in about 1640.
1643. But there's lots more interesting history available in the wikipedia article about the barometer.
Barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure.The first barometer was built by Francis Bacon. Later in 1644, Evangelista Torricelli, built the first instrument with mercury.

A thermometer and light meter are the most useful when measuring two environmental changes.
There are many tools used in measuring meteorological changes. The most useful tool depends on which factors are measured. A light meter or photometer measures light intensity while a barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
Air pressure is measured with a barometer.
Well, an aneroid barometer, is called an aneroid barometer- but, a barometer measures air pressure, and an aneroid barometer is a barometer that contains no liquid.
An aneroid barometer is mainly used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can be used to predict weather changes by tracking fluctuations in pressure. This can be particularly useful for activities such as weather forecasting, aviation, and hiking.
barometer has mercury inside it .
