Relative for starters means exact or close to. Wind Speed is how fast the air is blowing. It other words, this would mean an estimate or exact measurement to the Wind Speed.

What is the difference between wind speed and storm surge?
Wind speed is the speed of the wind (in knots) relative to the environment, where as air speed is the speed of the aircraft in the air.
True oR false a wind vane measures the speed of a wind?
Rain gauage is used in measuring relative humidity.
An anemometer is used to measure?
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,
What is wind speed measured in?
Wind Speed Is measured In Knots.No, a wind vane only gives wind direction. Wind speed is measure with an anemometer.
Is a wind vane considered as a wind speed?
No. A wind vane is an instrument that can tell wind speed but not wind direction.
What is the difference between wind speed and storm surge?
Wind speed is the speed of the wind (in knots) relative to the environment, where as air speed is the speed of the aircraft in the air.
Which or the following does a wind shock show you- the wind's temperature direction pressure andor speed?
A wind sock is a tool that shows what direction the wind is blowing in. While relative wind speed can also be determined with a wind sock, a more accurate tool for measuring wind speed is the anemometer.
What units to you measure wind direction?
Wind direction is described in terms of the compass direction,or the angle relative to North, from which the wind is arriving.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
Why does a bird take off into the wind?
It gives the bird a higher relative speed which generates more lift.
Do planes land with the wind?
Ideally, you should always land an aeroplane into the wind because it reduces your speed relative to the ground. Note that this is not the same as airspeed.
True oR false a wind vane measures the speed of a wind?
Rain gauage is used in measuring relative humidity.
What is an air sock?
An air sock is another name for a windsock, a conical open-ended tube designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed.
An anemometer is used to measure?
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,
Dose airspeed around an airplane wing change in constant airspeed if the airplan is with headwind or tailwind?
No. 'Airspeed' is the airplane's speed relative to the air. 'Headwind' and 'tailwind' ... in fact, 'wind' in any direction ... is the speed of the air relative to the ground, which the airplane doesn't feel. So 'wind' affects only the craft's groundspeed, not its airspeed.
What information is contained in a detailed weather report?
it contains information about precipitation,wind speed and direction,relative humidty,atmospheric preessure.
What is the difference anemometer and hygrometer?
An anemometer measures wind speed. A hygrometer measures relative humidity. Two different things entirely.
