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 is the answer to this analogy-profound is to shallow as earth is to?

air


Why is a greenhouse a good analogy for the processes occurring in the atmosphere?

A greenhouse is a good analogy for the processes occurring in the atmosphere because both involve trapping heat. In a greenhouse, glass walls trap heat from the sun, leading to a warmer environment inside. Similarly, in the atmosphere, gases like carbon dioxide trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise. This comparison helps us understand how certain gases in the atmosphere can contribute to global warming.


What is the analogy rain is to shower as tornado is to what?

Tornado is to hurricane. Both involve violent wind and weather conditions on a larger scale compared to rain and shower.


Does temperature affect odor?

Yes temperature affects odour. You can only smell gasses, or particles held in the air which you can inhale. At higher temperatures materials will find it easier to transfer to a gaseous state, or to break down into small enough particles to be carried by wind. At very low temperatures when objects will freeze they become virtually odourless as the solid material can not reach your nose. If we use the wonderful dog poo analogy. On a hot day the smell will travel faster, further and smell worse than on a cold day as it will break down, and particles can be carried by higher energy warmer air. A frozen poo is near odourless.
