One of the following instruments is used in measuring the direction of wind
Answer Details
A wind vane is used in measuring the direction of wind. It is a simple device that consists of a pointer attached to a rotating pivot, mounted on a flat surface. The pointer aligns itself with the wind direction, which can then be read from a scale attached to the vane. The flat surface is usually mounted on a tall pole or tower, and the whole device is designed to rotate freely so that the pointer always points directly into the wind.
