We measure weather using instruments like thermometers (temperature), barometers (pressure), rain gauges (rainfall), anemometers (wind speed), and hygrometers (humidity). Automated Weather Stations combine these tools to monitor weather accurately. Data is recorded at regular intervals to help forecast and understand ...

A wind sock is a cone-shaped cloth tube that shows wind direction and relative speed. It is commonly used at airports to help pilots during takeoff and landing. When the wind blows, the sock extends outward in the direction the ...
An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed. It usually has three or four cups attached to a rotating shaft. When wind blows, the cups spin and the speed of rotation indicates how fast the wind is moving, measured ...
Wind direction is measured using a wind vane, which points where the wind blows from. Wind speed is measured by an anemometer, which spins faster when wind is stronger. These instruments help pilots, sailors and meteorologists understand and predict weather ...
Yes, such seeds rely on wind for dispersal. If there were no wind, the seeds would fall near the parent plant, leading to overcrowding. This would limit space and nutrients for growth. Wind helps spread seeds farther to grow in ...
