Wind speed is a term applied when talking about the movement of air from one place to the next.Please note, "Wind speed" should not be confused with the Speed of Wind. Analogous to the Speed of Sound or the Speed of Light, the Speed of Wind, at 3.1 meters/second, is a constant used throughout the scientific community in Wind speed calculations. The most popular theories suggest the Speed of Wind is a direct result of the Earth's rotation combined with additional atmospheric and gravitational factors. It should also be noted that the Speed of Wind remains a constant 3.1 m/s at any point on the Earth's surface.
