Hygrometer is a particular type of meteorological instrument that is used to measure the amount of moisture present in the atmosphere. It works either by measuring the changes in a material that absorbs moisture, such as the tension in a strand of human hair, or by using electronic sensors that measure changes in electrical properties such as capacitance or resistance.
Barometer: An instrument used to measure the pressure in the atmosphere.
Thermometer: A commonly used device to measure temperature.
