Understanding Windsocks: A Guide to Their Purpose and Uses

Windsocks are a type of weather vane that indicate the direction of the wind. They are typically made of a flexible material, such as plastic or metal, and have a pointed end that rotates in response to changes in the wind direction. The windsock is attached to a mast or pole, and the rotation of the pointed end indicates the direction from which the wind is blowing.

Windsocks are commonly used at airports, where they help pilots determine the wind direction before takeoff and landing. They are also used on boats and other vessels to indicate the wind direction on the water. In addition to their practical use, windsocks have become a popular decorative item for gardens and other outdoor spaces.
