The direct opposite side of whatever the direction of the flag is blowing into.
Yes they did. From BadAstronomy.com (see below)Bad: When the astronauts are assembling the American flag, the flag waves. Kaysing says this must have been from an errant breeze on the set. A flag wouldn't wave in a vacuum.Good: Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself.The moon hoax is a myth propagated by con artists that want to sell books.

The lack of atmosphere on the moon means there's no wind to cause the flag to slump against the pole. When the flag was initially planted, the horizontal pole along the top edge helped it maintain its iconic rippled appearance.
They did not. The flag was Nylon and quite ordinary. The flag pole was fairly unique in that it had a pole in the top of the flag to hold it up. This was done because there is never any wind on the moon.
Flying a flag during a thunderstorm and tornado can be dangerous as the metal pole can attract lightning, increasing the risk of a lightning strike. Additionally, strong winds associated with these weather events can damage the flag and its pole. It is safer to wait until the weather conditions have improved before flying a flag again.
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen led the team that first set foot at the South Pole during December 1911. They erected a tent at the pole after spending about a week verifying their location using celestial navigation skills. Atop the tent, they mounted a Norwegian flag. It is not documented exactly who mounted the flag on the tent.
The leeward side of a mountain is the side that is not exposed to wind or rain, the other side being the windward side.

According to the US Flag Code, the US Flag should be larger in size and (if flying on the same pole), at the top of the pole. If flying the American flag with a state flag, the American flag needs to be on a taller pole than the state flag and displayed on the flag's right side. If flying them on poles of equal size, then flying the American flag on the flag's right side is correct.
leeward is the side that doesn't expose the side of the wind
the leeward side
The leeward side of a mountain is warm because as air moves up and over the mountain, it loses moisture and heat, resulting in warmer and drier air on the leeward side. This process is known as the rain shadow effect and contributes to the warmer temperatures experienced on the leeward side of the mountain.
Tokyo is in leeward slope.
Leeward is the side that is not exposed to wind and weather. The side that faces away from the wind.
As air moves from the windward side to the leeward side, it loses moisture.

The side that is downwind. The leeward side of an island is usually calmer, sunnier, and dryer than the windward coast.
