We measure angles using a tool called a protractor. A protractor is half of a circle. A protractor uses units called degrees to measure angles. A protractor can measure angles starting from the left or from the right. It measures from 0 to 180 degrees. 180 degrees is half of the measure of a circle.
These types of instruments are used by the wind energy industry, both for wind resource assessment and turbine control. Wind speed is measured with an anemometer. In situations where modern instruments are not available, an index finger can be used to test the direction of wind. This is accomplished by wetting the finger and pointing it upwards. The side of the finger that feels cool is (approximately) the direction from which the wind is blowing.
