The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
No. North Pole is 90 degrees north latitude.
There is 180 degrees of separation, from 90 degrees north (North Pole) to 90 degrees south (South Pole). The North and South Pole are points (the geographic ends of the Earth's axis) and are on all planes perpendicular to the equatorial plane.
South America is at 15 degrees south and 45 degrees west.
0 degrees north is the north pole and zero degrees south is the south pole.
The compass bearing of south is 180 degrees
180 degrees

-Reduced bearing use degrees as measurement unit. -Read from the north or the south towards the east or the west.
North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west is 270 degrees.
BEARING 1. A, B and C are three ships. The bearing of A from B is 045º. The bearing of C from A is 135º. If AB= 8km and AC= 6km, what is the bearing of B from C? 2. A helicopter pilot flies in the direction 147 degrees and lands when she is 12 km south of her starting point. How far did she fly?
Azimuth 140 degrees (true) is 40 degrees east of south, or pretty close to southeast.(Southeast is exactly 135 degrees true.)
You take a bearing by pointing your compass at the target (or direction you want to go) and reading the number on the compass. There are 360 degrees in a circle, with East being at 90 degrees, South-East being 135 degrees, South being 180, West 270, North 360 (or zero) and etc. etc.
It could mean west southwest. This would be a bearing that is 22.5 degrees south of due west.
Not 100%... if your talking about bearings in navigation, imagine Point A anywhere on a 2D plane. Then if the bearings to the next coordinate were south 42 degrees west... You would imagine a line pointing down from point A "south", then rotate clockwise from that line 42 degrees... The full angle measurement, in standard position, would be 228. 270*-42*. Hope that helped.
