Cardinal Points

​Cardinal points are the four main directions on a compass: North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W). These directions are used to navigate and describe locations. Here's a simple breakdown

:

• North (N): The direction towards the top of the Earth.

• South (S): The direction towards the bottom of the Earth.

• East (E): The direction where the sun rises.

• West (W): The direction where the sun sets.

• Northeast (NE): Between North and East

• Southeast (SE): Between South and East

• Southwest (SW): Between South and West

• Northwest (NW): Between North and West

Ordinal directions are the points that lie between the cardinal points on a compass. These are:
