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.

Which is instrument is not used to measure air pressure?

An instrument not used to measure air pressure is a thermometer. A thermometer is designed to measure temperature, whereas devices like barometers and manometers are specifically used for measuring air pressure. Additionally, an anemometer measures wind speed, not air pressure.


A student is studying how the air pressure in a basketball depends on its temperature what measuring instruments are needed for this experiment?

To study how air pressure in a basketball changes with temperature, you will need a pressure gauge to measure the air pressure inside the basketball accurately. Additionally, you will require a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the basketball during the experiment.


Is a barometer used to measure temperature?

No, a barometer is used to measure air pressure, not temperature. Temperature is usually measured using a thermometer.


Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in glass tube?

Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending Mercury.


What measures air pressure temperature humidity and wind?

a barometer measures air pressure. an anemometer measures wind speed. a thermometer measures temperature.


What is the different between barometer and thermometer?

A barometer measures the barometric pressure of the atmosphere. This has to do with the relative humidity. The more moisture suspended in the air, the more it weighs. A weather thermometer measures the temperature of the air.


Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube?

Mercury does not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube because the presence of air creates pressure within the tube that opposes the expansion of the mercury. Without a vacuum, the air pressure prevents the mercury from moving freely up the tube in response to changes in temperature.

Which instrument in not used to measure air pressure?

An instrument not used to measure air pressure is a thermometer. Instead, thermometers are designed to measure temperature. Other instruments specifically for measuring air pressure include barometers and manometers.
