    A wind vane, also known as a weather vane, is a tool used to determine the direction from which the wind is blowing. It is typically mounted at high points, like rooftops, and consists of a pointed arrow and tail, designed to rotate freely and align itself with the wind direction. The end of the vane that is larger or has more surface area is blown away from the wind direction, indicating the wind's source.
