Question

How does a mercury barometer measures atmospheric pressure?​

Answer 1

$\huge\fbox\red{❥answer}$

A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.
