* North (N): Usually at the top of the compass rose, often with a larger arrowhead or a different color than the other directions.
* South (S): At the bottom of the compass rose, opposite North.
* East (E): On the right side of the compass rose, 90 degrees clockwise from North.
* West (W): On the left side of the compass rose, 90 degrees counterclockwise from North.
Visual representation:
Imagine a circle divided into four equal parts.
* The top part is North (N).
* The bottom part is South (S).
* The right part is East (E).
* The left part is West (W).
Compass roses can be more elaborate:
Many compass roses also include:
* Intermediate directions: Northeast (NE), Northwest (NW), Southeast (SE), Southwest (SW).
* Degrees: Numbers indicating the degrees around the compass rose (0° for North, 90° for East, 180° for South, and 270° for West).
Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on any of these aspects!
