The opposite of northeast is southwest. This direction is found by combining the opposite of north (which is south) and the opposite of east (which is west). Thus, southwest represents the diagonal direction that is 180 degrees from northeast.
It has no opposite. The complimentary term is latitude.
It doesn't matter where you are, the Earth turns west to east, which is why the Sun seems to go in the opposite direction.
You need the compass direction to tell you direction. The sun usually rises from the east. The south is usually directly opposite the north.

Starting at North and proceeding clockwise from there,you've got your-- north by east-- north-northeast-- northeast by north-- northeast-- northeast by east-- east-northeast-- east by north-- EAST-- east by south-- east-southeast-- southeast by east-- southeast-- southeast by south-- south-southeast-- south by east-- SOUTH-- south by west-- south-southwest-- southwest by south-- southwest-- southwest by west-- west-southwest-- west by south-- WEST-- west by north-- west-northwest-- northwest by west-- northwest-- northwest by north-- north-northwest, and-- north by west
Magnetism is characterized by the interaction between opposite poles, with like poles repelling and opposite poles attracting each other. The convention of labeling them as North and South poles dates back to when magnetic compasses were first used for navigation, aligning with Earth's magnetic field. Using East and West wouldn't provide the same clear reference for which ends are attracted or repelled.
The opposite direction for east-northeast is west-southwest.
South and east
east is where the sun sorge, west is where the sun fall, north is the opposite of east and south is the opposite of west.

SSW is the opposite of NNE.
South - South - East
West is the opposite of east, and north and south are also opposites. When looking at a map north and south are up and down respectively, and west and east are left and right.
