प्रश्न
What is wind? What precautions must be taken while placing a wind vane?
उत्तर
The wind is air in motion. A wind vane indicates the direction of the wind and consists of a rotating arm pivoted on a vertical rod. The arrow of the wind vane always points in the direction from which the wind blows and the wind is named accordingly. For example, if the pointer is pointing to the East, the wind is blowing from East to West and, therefore, this wind is called an easterly wind. Wind vanes are usually placed away from obstacles such as high buildings, trees, etc.
