- North is directly opposite south.
- South is directly opposite north.
- East indicates the direction where the sun rises.
- West denotes the direction where the sun sets.
Ordinal Directions
- Ordinal directions represent the four intermediate points between cardinal directions: northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest.
- Northeast lies halfway between north and east.
- Northwest is positioned midway between north and west.
- Southeast is located midway between south and east.
- Southwest sits halfway between south and west.
Compass Rose
- A compass rose is a navigational tool on maps that illustrates both cardinal and ordinal directions.
- The compass rose aids in understanding orientation and navigation relative to the cardinal points (N, E, S, W) and intermediate points (NE, SE, NW, SW).
