North and south are considered opposite directions because they represent the two poles of Earth's magnetic and geographic orientation. The Earth’s magnetic field has a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole, which are aligned with the planet’s geographic poles. This dichotomy is fundamental to navigation, where north typically indicates the direction toward the North Pole, while south leads towards the South Pole. As a result, they are used to define the cardinal directions on a compass, making them inherently oppositional.
