The declination of a compass in South Australia varies depending on the specific location and the current date, as it changes gradually over time due to shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. As of recent data, the declination in South Australia generally ranges from about 6 to 12 degrees east. This means that magnetic north differs from true north by this amount, and navigators must adjust their compass readings accordingly for accurate navigation. For the most precise information, it's advisable to consult current geomagnetic charts or local navigation resources.
Declination can range from +90 degrees (north) to -90 degrees (south).
Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.
Perth is at 32 degrees south and on the summer solstice the Sun's declination is 23½ degrees south. Therefore the Sun is 32-23½ degrees or 8½ degrees from the zenith, that is 81½ degrees above the horizon.

A compass point of 202.5 degrees falls between the southwest (225 degrees) and south-southwest (202.5 degrees) directions on a standard 360-degree compass rose. It is closer to the south-southwest direction. In terms of cardinal directions, it would be considered closer to the south direction than the west direction.
SSE stands for South-South-East in meteorological terms and represents a compass heading of around 157.5 degrees. This means that SSE is halfway between due south (180 degrees) and due east (90 degrees) on the compass.
There are 180 degrees between north and south in a compass rose.
South West.
The range of values for celestial declination is from -90 degrees to +90 degrees. A declination of 0 degrees corresponds to the celestial equator, while +90 degrees denotes the north celestial pole and -90 degrees denotes the south celestial pole. This range allows for the precise positioning of celestial objects in the sky relative to Earth's equatorial plane.
Sydney, Australia is 34 degrees south, 151 degrees east
