Imagine you're outside, and you feel the wind on your face. A wind vane is like a special weather tool that tells us which way the wind is blowing 🌬️. It's usually made of a pointy part and a wider, flat part. The pointy part points *into* the wind, showing us where the wind is coming *from*.
Knowing which way the wind is blowing can help us in many ways:
