Â­A barometer measures air pressure: A rising barometer indicates increasÂ­ing air pressure; a falling barometer indicates decreasing air pressure.n Earth, because there are many miles of air molecules stacked up and exerting pressure due to the force of gravity, the pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level (see this page for a good explanation of atmospheric pressure).
