there is a big different between the vernier caliper and micro meter caliper,the vernier caliper they can use the outside and inside measurement while the micro meter caliper it's just only use outside measurement..

scale measures weight which depends on gravity and location. A caliper measures distance, usually very small and precise lengths such as milling a bolt to an exact bore. A vernier scale is a fine tuning knob or rotary which adds more decimal places of accuracy.
Meter rule measures length in centimeters or meters, vernier calipers measure length in millimeters or inches with higher precision using a vernier scale, and micrometer screw gauge measures smaller lengths in micrometers or thousandths of an inch using a calibrated screw. The micrometer screw gauge provides the highest precision among the three instruments.
A ruler only goes up to one foot (12 inches) while a tape measure is really long up to ten to twelve feet.
The least count of vernier caliper is 0.005cm and the least count of ruler is 0.1cm , So we mueasure small things 5 times more than rulrer.

Vernier calipers typically have an accuracy of around 0.02 mm or 0.001 inches, depending on the quality of the instrument. However, proper technique and calibration are essential for obtaining accurate measurements. Regular maintenance and calibration checks can help ensure reliable readings.
A Vernier detects small differences in measurements with precision. It is widely used in scientific instruments such as calipers and micrometers to provide accurate readings for various applications like engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The vernier caliper was invented in 1631 by Pierre Vernier, a French mathematician and scientist. It is a precise measuring instrument that allows for accurate readings of length measurements.
