*Micrometer have a rotary handle and whereas vernier have a slider.
*Micrometer is for measuring diameters while vernier is for measuring inside & outside diameter as well as depth.
*Least Count of Vernier Caliper is 0.02mm
*Least Count of Micrometer is 0.01mm

What are all of the similarities between the Vernier caliper and screw gauge?
The least count of vernier caliper is 0.01mm while the least count of screw gauge is 0.001 mm. ... Difference between screw gauge and vernier caliper in tabular form. Micrometer Screw Gauge Vernier caliper It has a circular scale. It has a vernier scale. It rotates to measure the objects. It slides to measure the length.
What is the similarity between Screw Gauge and Vernier Caliper?
Very little, the screw gauge checks the pitch of threads while the vernier caliper is use to accurately measure distances.
Is used to find the length of a pencil eraser-vernier caliper or screw gauge?
Former i.e. Vernier Caliper
What are the similarities between vernier caliper and micrometer screw gauge?
both are used in accurate measuring in a wide range of environments
How reading differ if screw gauge is used instead of vernier calliper to measure thickness of glass plate?
Vernier caliper has an accuracy of 0.01 cm. But screw gauge has still more. It will be able to give even 0.001 cm. So even third decimal could be got accurately when we use screw gauge instead vernier caliper.
What the different parts of vernier caliper?
Internal and external jaws. Locking screw. Scale. Depth gauge.
What are the difference between meter rule vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge?
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..
What is the least count of screw gauge and vernier calipers?
LC FOR VERNIER CALIPER-0.1mm LC FOR MICROMETER -0.01 mm L.C- NO OF SMALLEST DIVISION ON MAIN SCALE ------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NO OF DIVISION ON VERNIER SCALE
What is the difference between vernier caliper and micrometer size in terms of material measured?
A typical micrometer screw gauge has a maximum accuracy of ±0.005 mm (0.01 mm readings) whereas a vernier caliper has a typical maximum accuracy of ±0.05 mm (0.1 mm readings). Of course, different versions might have better or worse accuracy. They are also used differently because of their different shapes and forms.

Why is vernier caliper or a micrometer gauge more accurate for taking measurements than a meter stick?
The caliper and micrometer use a dial or digital readout to measure the distance between the tips. The tolerances of these tools can be under .001 inch, making them extremely accurate.
Why is the vernier caliper so called?
A Vernier allows a precise reading of some value. In the figure to the right, the Vernier moves up and down to measure a position on the Scale. This could be part of a barometer which reads atmospheric pressure. The "pointer" is the line on the vernier labelled "0". Thus the measured position is almost exactly 756 in whatever units the scale is calibrated in. If you look closely you will see that the distance between the divisions on the vernier are not the same as the divisions on the scale. The 0 line on the vernier lines up at 756 on the scale, but the 10 line on the vernier lines up at 765 on the scale. Thus the distance between the divisions on the vernier are 90% of the distance between the divisions on the scale. If we do another reading with the vernier at a different position, the pointer, the line marked 0, may not line up exactly with one of the lines on the scale. Here the "pointer" lines up at approximately 756.5 on the scale. If you look you will see that only one line on the vernier lines up exactly with one of the lines on the scale, the 5 line. This means that our first guess was correct: the reading is 756.5. Here is a final example, with the vernier at yet another position. The pointer points to a value that is obviously greater than 756.5 and also less than 757.0. Looking for divisions on the vernier that match a division on the scale, the 7 line matches fairly closely. So the reading is about 756.7. In fact, the 7 line on the vernier appears to be a little bit above the corresponding line on the scale. The 8 line on the vernier is clearly somewhat below the corresponding line of the scale. So with sharp eyes one might report this reading as 756.73 ± 0.02. This "reading error" of ± 0.02 is probably the correct error of precision to specify for all measurements done with this apparatus. Now we shall use a simulation of a Vernier Caliper. A caliper measures a length, and in the following figure we show a caliper being used to measure the length of an Object. The Object will be placed between the "jaws" of the caliper. The Object is almost exactly 75 mm (2.95 in) long. In the above photograph, you can see that on the top of the caliper are two "prongs" which can be used to measure an interior dimension. There is also a piece of metal sticking out from the right side of the caliper, which is a depth gauge. Calipers commonly use a vernier scale. In the simulation below, you may "grab" the jaw of the caliper with the left button of the mouse and move it to some position. When you click on the Show button the distance between the jaws will be shown. Note that there is a small difference between the simulation and a real caliper: in the simulation the distance between the jaws is always an even multiple of a tenth of a millimeter. It does not allow readings between these values, for which we would have to estimate the value. The Java applet to simulate the vernier caliper was written by Fu-Kwan Hwang, Department of Physics, National Taiwan Normal Univ., and is used by permission. See related link for the applet.
