What else can I help you with?
Does the wind sock point to the oncoming wind?
Wind direction, and someone experienced can take a guess at wind speed.
Wind sock unit of measurement?
A windsock is primarily used to indicate wind direction and speed, but it does not have a specific unit of measurement like meters or feet. Instead, it visually represents wind conditions: the angle and extent to which the sock is extended indicate wind strength, while the direction it points shows wind direction. Typically, a windsock can also be associated with wind speed categories, such as light, moderate, or strong, based on how fully it opens.
Is a wind sock not used to measure wind?
A wind sock is used to show the direction of the wind.
Does a wind sock measure wind speed?
Wind socks measure the direction of the wind when the wind blows into the open end and the sock points the way the wind is blowing. Wind socks can also measure the strength of the wind. If a wind sock is flapping about gently the wind is only light. If a wind sock sticks out in a straight line the wind is much stronger.
What is a wind instrument that you can make at home?
A wind vane or a wind sock.

Can you measure the wind with a wind sock?
The appearance of the wind sock gives a broad approximation to the wind speed, and a pretty good indication of the wind direction.

What measures wind directon?
A wind sock, or wind cone.

What unit do you use to measur wind direction?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. Sexagesimal degrees.
What do wind vane do?
velocity direction indicator like a wind sock
How did the wind sock get its name?
The wind sock got its name from its resemblance to a sock, specifically a long, tapered tube that flares out at one end. Historically, it was used to indicate wind direction and strength, much like a sock would hold its shape while hanging. The term "sock" reflects its simple design and function, making it an effective tool for aviators and weather observers.
Suggest two ways of finding wind direction?
Use a wind sock or a wind vane.
Who uses a wind sock?
To tell a) whether the wind is blowing or not -AND- b) which way the wind is blowing ~
