  • Understanding Barometers: How They Measure Air Pressure
    The device you are describing is called a barometer.

    Here's why:

    * Dial or Digital Face: Barometers use a dial or digital display to show the air pressure reading.

    * Thin Metal Cells: Traditional aneroid barometers use thin metal cells that expand and contract with changes in air pressure.

    * Pockets of Air: The cells in an aneroid barometer contain pockets of air that are sensitive to pressure changes.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
