Question 1301Navigation General

70% to pass

A millibar is a unit of _______________.

A precipitation
B humidity
C pressure
D temperature
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) pressure. A millibar is a unit of pressure, specifically atmospheric pressure. It is commonly used to measure and report weather conditions, such as in weather forecasts. The millibar is a standard unit for measuring pressure in the context of the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, as understanding atmospheric pressure is important for navigation and weather prediction. The other options are incorrect because a millibar does not measure precipitation (A), humidity (B), or temperature (D). Those are different weather-related variables that are measured using different units.
