Answer: If you have the Google Earth program, which shows you the world map as a globe that you can zoom in and out from, you can find your exact location in Kenya and draw a straight line from there to the Kaabah in Mecca. I just did it - from a central area of Kenya - and I found that the orientation to Mecca is just about 7 degrees towards the East from straight North. In other words, you look straight to the North and then you turn towards the right by about 7 degrees.
i dont know the full relative location, but its southern kenya, so just go to google maps or something and look at soutern kenya
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
If you suspend the magnet in a way that it can rotate freely (for example, hang it from a thread), one of its ends will point north. If you know which end that is (you may want to mark it), west is 90 degrees to the left of north.
If a person is traveling they would need to know how to read a map, and what the symbols mean. The Compass Rose, is a compass. It gives a map reading direction, from where they currently are, to their end destination.
You can if you want to. Since the Earth is a sphere (ball-shaped), you can start out from anywhere, travel in any direction, and wind up anywhere. As a practical matter, when people know where they want to wind up, and their only reason for traveling is to get there, they'll ordinarily choose the shortest, least time-consuming route. From North Carolina to Kenya, that kind of route would NOT cross the International Dateline.
We need to know of "what" they are the direction of.
Want to know about agro economical activities in north eastern kenya?
the use of an compass is to know what direction your going in such as north,south,east,or west
Cortes traveled North,West. I know by looking in my Social Studies.
The "North" direction or 0 degrees provides the common reference point from which all directions can be derived from. If you know the North direction then you can figure out East, South, West directions and everything in-between. If there was no concept of "North" then there would be no "up" or "down" on a map making reading them difficult.

i don't really know the answer but i think that they go kind of every where
A compass rose is a map symbol that shows what direction on the map is North, South, East, and West.
