What is the measuring unit of a tornado?

Answer 1

Tornadoes are assigned ratings based on the severity of the damage they cause, which is used to estimated wind speed. The analysis is rather subjective, so the ratings can't really be defined as units. In the United States, wind speeds are usually estimated to the nearest 5 miles per hour (mph). Other countires usually do estimates in kilometers per hour (km/h). Scientific studies usually report speeds in meters per second (m/s).

Answer 2

The measuring unit of a tornado is the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which classifies tornadoes based on the damage they cause. The scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), with factors like wind speed and damage extent taken into account.
