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.

Explain how a barometer and a thermometer are alike?

A thermometer and a barometer are alike, because a thermometer tells temperature, and a barometer tells air pressure. They sort off connect, because when you have lower air pressure, you get colder temperatures and when you have higher air pressure, you know then that the temperature will be hotter. You can kinda tell by looking at only one piece of data, what the other piece might be. I'm pretty sure that's right, I'm only in 7th grade.


What is the significance of the barometer?

The barometer measures air pressure. Its main usefulness is when the pressure is rising or falling. If you are in a house with a basement and the sky looks ominous and you suddenly see the gauge on the barometer decreasing, it means that the air pressure around your house has started falling fast. It also means you should get into your basement as fast as possible so you will avoid the tornado that will blow your house away. A falling barometer indicates stormy weather is coming. A rising barometer indicates fair weather is coming. With satellites and weather reports we have less need for barometers except during severe storms when we most need such reports.


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.


Why air pressure is a really useful thing to measure?

I believe air pressure is measured in PSI ( pound per square inch) by using a barometer


Useful and harmful changes to the environment?

Useful changes to the environment include reforestation efforts to restore ecosystems and renewable energy projects to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Harmful changes include deforestation leading to habitat loss and climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
