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.
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
Nairobi, Kenya is located in East Africa, approximately 1,700 miles south of Cairo, Egypt and 270 miles west of Mombasa, Kenya. It is situated at a higher elevation compared to many other parts of Kenya.
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.
To draw a cardinal direction on a compass rose, use a straight line extending from the center of the compass rose outward in the desired direction (e.g., north, south, east, west). Label the line with the appropriate cardinal direction (N, S, E, W) to indicate the direction accurately.
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.
We need to know of "what" they are the direction of.
The difference between northwest and west of north lies in their respective directions relative to the cardinal direction of north. Northwest is a compound direction that combines the north and west directions, indicating a diagonal direction between the two. West of north, on the other hand, specifically indicates a direction that is to the west when starting from the north and moving clockwise.

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.
