I used a wind vane to see what direction was the wind blowing to
The weather vane indicated the direction of the wind was from the North.
A wind vane measures wind direction, however if you are seeking speed of the wind, you would also use an anemometer. The weather stations today would normally have both the wind vane and the anemometer.
You could use a weather vane
Indicates the direction of the wind. It is use to know where is the wind going. Wind vanes are used to tell the direction the wind is coming from.
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. Sexagesimal degrees.
Propel an object into the air and measure the direction and distance it goes in. Or use the good old lick your finger and point it in the air until you find the direction of wind.
The wind vane is in the barn.
The wind direction vane is spinning like a top!
A wind vane measures wind direction, however if you are seeking speed of the wind, you would also use an anemometer. The weather stations today would normally have both the wind vane and the anemometer.
The word vane could be in a sentence like, "i have a big vane"
a wind vane
maybe...WHEN THERES WIND?
An anemometer tells you how fast it is blowing. A wind vane, will tell you direction it is coming from.
Use a wind sock or a wind vane.
The Anemometer measures wind speed, not wind direction. Wind Direction is measured by the wind vane.
An anemometer with a wind vane is the right answer
There really isn't something to measure the amount of wind, I believe that you are referring to wind speed and direction. The instruments that are used to measure wind speed is the anemometer. Also, for wind direction, we would use a wind vane. You can feel the direction of wind.... I guess humans are like one giant wind vane!
For the sun: solarimeter. For the wind: # direction: wind sock or wind vane # speed: anemometer
