A Wind vane measures wind strength and direction, wind strength does not have a set unit of measurement such as cm or m, but the measurement for direction is measured in degrees, like the compass, pointing so many degrees N.W. etc. You might be looking for a unit of "wind speed" which you would have to look at an anemometer to find.
cardinal
north, east, south & west
wow its sorta weird qustion because its north south east west so that's pretty easy
ANS2:The vane points in a direction so, the units are degrees. North is 0°, East is 90°, South is 180° and West is 270°.

What is a windvane?
A wind vane is a mechanical way of telling which way the wind is blowing. Some can be just a windsock that fills with air when the wind blows. Another might be iron, cast in the form of an animal like a rooster, that is set onto a spindle that lets the rooster turn easily.
What is used to determine the direction of the wind?
Wind direction is determined by friction ,or the lack thereof ,surrounding the earth surface. Warm air from the equator rises, moves towards the poles, falls and returns to the equator. crossing water decreases friction, crossing a mountain increases friction.
What inturment is used to measure then wind?
The instrument which is used to measure wind is a anemometer. This tool is used to determine the direction in which the wind is blowing.
Does a wind vane measure in millibars?

What do an anemometer and wind vane measure?
An Anemometer measures the wind speed and the Wind Vane measures the direction of the wind.
How does a wind vane record weather?
A wind vane measure wind direction. It doesn't measure wind speed, it tells which direction the wind is coming from and which direction it is currently blowing.
Does a wind vane measure wind speed?
No, it measures the direction in which its travelling.no it tells you where the wind is coming fromNo. The wind vane would give you wind direction not wind speed.false
Is wind vane a standard measurement?

Does a wind vane measure humidity?

This instrument is used to measure wind directions by using an arrow to point to the wind?
Wind vane.
What do you use to measure directions?
An anemometer with a wind vane is the right answer
