Question

How you can find out wind direction at a given place.

✓

Answer

We can find the wind direction using a Wind Vane or Weather Vane or Weather Cock. It consists of a flat metallic sheet generally cut into shape of a cock or arrow which is mounted on disk and free to move around a axial shaft and point in the direction of wind. They are typically used as an architectural ornament to the highest point of a building. Also we can find the direction of light wind using smoke from incense sticks. The direction of smoke will indicate the wind direction.
