If it's the kind of wind vane I'm thinking of, it has a pointy end and the tail end. The tail end has fins or other things sticking out of it that catch the air and create drag. So that end will go 'downwind" or the way the wind is GOING.
The other end of this stiff metal object will then point INTO the wind, meaning it points the direction the wind is coming from. This narrow pointy end does not give the wind much resistance compared to the tail. So that's why the tail end goes downwind and the stick or bar pivots on an axis and the pointy end points into the wind.
The arrow of a wind vane points in the direction from which the wind is blowing.
A wind vane works by using a freely rotating arrow or pointer that aligns itself with the direction of the wind. The tail of the wind vane is designed to catch the wind, causing the arrow to point in the direction from which the wind is coming. This allows people to easily determine the wind's direction by observing the position of the arrow on the wind vane.
A wind vane is a device that looks like an arrow mounted on a pole. It is designed to rotate freely and point in the direction from which the wind is blowing. This is achieved through the aerodynamic design of the vane, which causes it to align itself with the direction of the wind. By observing the direction in which the wind vane is pointing, one can determine the direction of the wind.
A weather vane is a device that rotates freely on a vertical axis and is typically mounted on a high point, such as a rooftop. It is designed with an arrow or other indicator that points in the direction from which the wind is blowing. The wind pushes against the vane, causing it to rotate and align with the wind direction, allowing observers to easily determine which way the wind is coming from.
Wind vanes work by using a freely rotating arrow or pointer that aligns itself with the direction of the wind. The vane is designed in a way that the tail end is heavier than the arrow end, causing it to point into the wind. This allows the wind vane to accurately show the direction from which the wind is blowing.
The arrow of a wind vane points in the direction from which the wind is blowing.
If the wind is from the north, the wind vane will point to the south. The wind vane is weighted so that the wind can swing it in the direction that it is going.
A wind vane is a weather vane that pivots on a central axis. The tail of the wind vane is larger than the head, causing it to point in the direction the wind is coming from. Wind direction is determined by observing which way the wind vane is pointing.

Weather vane is for direction and anemometer is for speed

I used a wind vane to see what direction was the wind blowing to
No. They are not winds at all, they are devices. A wind vane indicates wind direction and an anemometer measures wind speed. They only measure winds at a single point, so they are not measuring global winds.
