Identifying Cardinal Points

 A compass has four main directions also known as cardinal points.

 These four Cardinal Points are;

North
South
East
West
The Compass
Locating Real Objects Using Cardinal Points
 The sun rises from the east and sets in the west.
 If you want to identify directions without a compass, you face the east and
stretch your arms out.
 Your left hand will be painting to the North and your right to the South.
