When the wind doubles does the pressure in the sails increase 8 times?

When the apparent wind speed is doubled, the pressure on the sail is quadrupled. That is because the pressure on the sail (or the side of your house or a billboard sign) is proportional to the square of the speed of the wind. If the wind speed triples, then the pressure goes up by a factor of nine, because three squared is nine.


Do solar flares greatly increase the solar wind from the carona?

yes


Why does wind increase transpirtation in a plant?

Wind can increase transpiration in a plant by increasing the rate of evaporation from the plant's leaves. When there is wind, it removes the water vapor surrounding the leaves, creating a lower concentration of water in the air which causes more water to move out of the plant through transpiration to maintain equilibrium.


Why do plants produce more pollen when pollinated by wind?

Plants that are wind-pollinated typically produce a larger quantity of pollen in order to increase the chances of successful pollination by wind, which is less precise than pollination by animals. Wind-pollinated plants rely on producing large amounts of pollen to increase the likelihood of pollen grains reaching another plant of the same species for fertilization.


What affects evaporation?

Evaporation is affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, surface area, and air movement. Higher temperatures and lower humidity levels can increase the rate of evaporation, as can increased surface area and higher wind speeds that help to disperse the water vapor molecules.
