Going from one place on the earth's surface to another place means you must move in some direction. The most important directions are called cardinal directions. They are north, south, east, and west. The North Pole is the most northern point on the earth's surface. The South Pole is the most southern point. No matter where you are standing on the earth's surface, north is toward the North Pole and south is toward the South Pole.

East is the direction that the earth turns and is the direction of the sunrise. West is the direction that is exactly opposite east. It is the direction of the sunset.

If you know one direction, you can figure out all of the others. When you face north, south will be straight behind you. East is to your right and west is to your left.

If you face south, north is behind you, east is on your left, and west is on your right.

To describe directions that are not exactly north, south, east, or west, it is necessary to combine them. For example, the direction halfway between north and west is called northwest. The direction halfway between south and east is called southeast. These new directions are called intermediate directionsbecause they show directions in-between the four main

So east is facing to the right side.
