North and south are cardinal directions used to indicate orientation on a map or globe. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, Canada is located to the north of the United States, while Mexico is to the south. Similarly, in a geographical context, the North Pole represents the northernmost point on Earth, while the South Pole marks the southernmost point. These directions help in navigation and understanding global geography.


What is true south?

True south refers to the direction along the Earth's surface that points directly toward the South Pole. It is the point on the Earth's surface where the axis of rotation intersects, and it differs from magnetic south, which is determined by the Earth's magnetic field. True south is significant in navigation and cartography, as it provides an accurate reference for orienting maps and determining geographic coordinates.
