No, upwind and dishonest are not opposites. Upwind refers to the direction from which the wind is coming, while dishonest refers to not being truthful or deceiving others.

A sailing boat can not sail directly upwind, sail at about 45 degrees to the wind and tack (turn the boat through the wind) to the other side of the wind and continue in this zig-zag manner up wind.

Stay upstream, uphill, and upwind.

Yes, sound does travel faster downwind than upwind due to the speed and direction of the wind affecting the transmission of sound waves. When sound waves propagate in the same direction as the wind flow (downwind), they can travel faster compared to when going against the wind (upwind).

Pilots always land and take off upwind (the wind is coming from straight ahead, or nearly so)
Downwind is the opposite, when the wind is coming from behind.
In order to tell, you can look up winds online (aviation weather dot gov) or look at the wind socket at the airport.

No it's not because the upwind wouldn't be able to support it and it would come down before it got that high.

Simple aerodynamics: the shorter leg of the "V" is upwind & the longer side is downwind. Usually.
1 answer
Yes. As moist air gets forced up the side of a mountain it cools and moisture in it can condense, leading to rain on the upwind side of the mountain.

The antonym of alee is aweather. Both words went out of use following the introduction of steamships. Alee means in the downwind direction; helm alee ! is the commonest usage. Aweather means in the upwind direction.

Sand or fine particles, when blown by the wind, will form ridges, called sand dunes.
The wind on their upwind face is subject to a slightly higher wind velocity - caused by the dune's obstruction itself. This upwind slope will have a rounded shape. Beyond the crest, the sand will drop out thus creating a hollow curved shape.
4 answers
A sand dune will always move with the prevailing wind (downwind). It would not be able to move into the direction of the prevailing wind (upwind).

When boats turn upwind it is called tacking and is often repeated many times to get to the destination forming the zig zag. Just as a not when sailing down wind it is a run and turning down wind it is called a gybe

A Yardang is a rock protrusion that has been shaped by the erosion of wind and sand, such that the upwind side is bluff or undercut, and the downwind part is a diminishing blunt ridge.
The compass part comes from the concept that the direction of the prevailing wind may be shown by analysing the effect.

The cruising speed of a Cessna 150 is about 85 knots. That is air speed, so over the ground it would be the same in still air, and more or less when going downwind or upwind. Generally 90 to 110 miles per hour, I would think.

A blimp's movement is independent of the wind direction because it moves by adjusting the volume of gas in its envelope to control its altitude. By ascending or descending, a blimp can navigate independently of the wind's direction. This makes blimps versatile and capable of hovering, moving upwind, or downwind as needed.

Sailing a boat is simple when you're navigating downwind with the wind at your back. You let out the mainsail perpendicular to the wind to capture the mostenergy. As the wind presses directly into the sails to make them puff out, that natural force propels the boat forward.
Plotting an upwind course, against the wind, is much harder. Compare the difference between running with the wind behind you and running with the wind gusting at you. You exert more energy to run into it, rather than enjoying the gentle push of it at your back. In fact, it is impossible to sail directly upwind. Either the opposing force of the wind will push the boat backward if the sails are let out, or it will stall the boat if the sails are pulled in and slack. Sailors refer to this as beingin irons. Instead, to reach an upwind destination, crews use a method callingtacking.
While the wind pushes the boat when going away from it (downwind) the opposite happens when going toward it (upwind). "When you sail upwind, the boat is actually being pulled rather than pushed by the force of the wind," says Bryan Kelly, the national governing body of sailing in the United States. That forward pull is referred to aslift. For that reason, sailors steering upwind must take a zigzagging path called tacking. By doing so, the wind approaches at an angle rather than head-on.
When tacking, the sails act as theengineof the boat, harnessingwind power. However, since the boat is moving angled to the wind, that wind power pushes the boat sideways. But remember that the wind isn't the only element the boat interacts with. There's also thewater. As the boat tips to one side, the long, flat keel submerged underneath the hull, pivots upward with the motion of the boat, creating a sideways force in the opposite direction because of the amount of water it displaces as it moves.
When tacking successfully, these equal, opposing sideways forces cancel each other out. However, that collected wind power must go somewhere, so it is released in a forward thrust -- there is nowhere else it can go. This is the same type of effect that happens when you shoot a marble. Your finger and thumb press equally hard on either side of the marble, causing it to zip forward.
After this happens, the sailor would alter course and tack again toward the opposite direction to gradually move upwind.
In the next section, we'll dissect the physicsof lift that pull sailboats forward into the wind and what they have in common with kites.

The leeward islands are located on the downwind side of a mountain or geographic feature, while the windward islands are located on the upwind side. In the Caribbean, the Leeward Islands include islands to the north and east of the chain, while the Windward Islands are located to the south and east.

To safely throw boiling water in freezing air, make sure the water is boiling hot and not just warm. Stand upwind to avoid the steam and throw the water quickly in a sweeping motion to prevent it from splashing back on you. Wear protective clothing and gloves to avoid burns.

The upwind direction of a sand dune has a gentle slope. A steep slope is on the downwind side. The pronounced slope of a sand dune is called a slip face. Sand erodes from the wind off the slip face.

On upwind legs, the jib serves to direct the air around the leeward side of the mainsail to reduce pressure on that side, causing forward propulsion in accordance with Bernoulli's Principle. On downwind legs, it serves more like a mainsail, providing additional surface area to drive the boat. This is true of any jib sail on any boat.
