Because wind direction is important for alot of things such as sailing,aviation and wind farms. I mean if the wind turbines couldn't face into the wind they'd be very ineffecient. Also if you have wildfires than its life or death if you know the wind currents.

∙ 13y agoWind velocity factors into takeoff velocity (especially into a headwind), as well as various factors involved in landing. Wind velocity can also affect course settings, especially if the wind is blowing perpendicular to the plane's heading.

∙ 14y agoI'm guessing becaause the pilot needs to know the direction he's heading and how long it will take to get there.

∙ 13y agoit's important because you can know where the wind is blowing to either from east to west or north to south

∙ 10y agoIt is important for pilots to know the weather because some types of weather can bring many types of aircraft down in a crash.

Why is the wind vane important?
so we can measure what direction the wind is going!
What is wind direction of the wind in Virginia?
Wind direction varies. It does not always go in the same direction.
What does wind direction mean?
Wind direction is the direction which the wind comes from.
What shows the direction of the wind?
wind and vane shows the direction of the wind.
What vane measures the direction of the wind?
A wind vane measures the direction of the wind.

Why is it important for airplane pilots to know the wind velocity and not just wind speed during the flight?
So that they can know what direction they're going, because velolocity includes direction!
Why is it important for airplane pilots to know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight?
Wind velocity is vector quantity. direction is also important.
What two variables do sailors look for in the wind?
Typically wind direction and wind speed. However if you use the technical definition of velocity (speed and direction) then wind velocity and it's acceleration are most important. For example, it's great to know that the wind is blowing at 5 knots NE, but if it's steadily increasing, and veering to the south that's important to know too.
Used to know the direction of wind?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
How can clouds be used in navigation?
they can give you the direction of the wind... and if you know the direction of the wind you can use this to find what direction your travelling in!
Why wind vane is important?

If you ask which direction the predominant wind blows in an area what do you want to know?
The direction to where the wind is going.
Why is it important for an airplane pilot to know the wind velocity and not just the wind speed?
Perhaps by "velocity" you're referring to the wind "vector," i.e., speed and direction. If so, the answer is simple: The wind speed alone is little help when calculating aircraft course. A pilot also needs to know the direction from which the wind is coming in order to accurately calculate intended course and speed.
What is the function of wind 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.
