Who Uses a Barometer?

Meteorologists use barometers to predict short-term changes in the weather. A rapid drop in atmospheric pressure means that a low-pressure system is arriving. Low pressure means that there isn't enough force, or pressure, to push clouds or storms away.

What is a barometer most likely to be used for?

Barometers are used to predict the weather. A barometer measures air pressure: A "rising" barometer indicates increasing air pressure; a "falling" barometer indicates decreasing air pressure. In space, there is a nearly complete vacuum so the air pressure is zero.

What are the two uses of barometer?
