KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Wind that is too strong or too light is difficult to fly in. A flag or windsock is handy to help you see the wind. About 5-25 mph is best for most kites (when leaves and bushes start to move, but before it really starts to blow). Flying is most fun when the wind is medium so you can do more than just hold on.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seashores are major windy areas where wind power can be used for kite flying because during the day the air above land gets heated faster and starts rising. So the air above the sea moves into this area rapidly and flying kites here is much easier as compared to other places.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some kites are heavier and need more wind. Others are especially made to fly in light wind. But most kites are made to fly in average winds of between four and ten miles per hour. If you can feel the wind on your face, there is probably enough to fly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fly a kite. Experiment with wind socks, windmills and streamers. Storm damage. Measure wind speed with a homemade anemometer. Cloud racing. Discover the wind direction. Seed scattering and leaf catching. Wind-blown messages. More items
