What is a compass direction that is 3 letters long?
352596
There are 8 compass directions with 3 letters:\n\nNNE, NNW\nSSE, SSW\nENE, ESE\nWNW, WSW\n\nTwo of those start with E, so you'll still need to figure out what goes in the other direction for the N or S.

1.7 kilometres. Move the decimal three places to the left.

Your question is a little bit generic. You can draw a lot of "angles and triangles" with a compass.\nThe simplest procedure that comes to my mind is this:\n1) Trace an horizontal segment from a point A to another point B.\n2) Now point your compass in A, with radius equal to AB and trace an arc over the segment.\n3) Then point in B with the same radius and trace another arc. The two arcs will intersect in a third point C.\n4) If now you join A with C and C with B, you have a triangle with all segments and angles equal.\nBe more specific if you need more help.

signs are three types:\nwarning: triangle\nformal: rectangle\nprevention and allawance :circular\nthe stop sign has 8 sides to know even if you looked from the back of it

To check direction of the WIND ?

No. Directions like north, east, south, and west are only imaginary "points" on earth, created by humans. Its only purpose is to provide us with a sense of navigation.\n\nA compass works on polarity. It is only one pole of a magnet being attracted by another pole of another magnet. Luckily for us, there is a location called "Magnetic North", not far from the North Pole. This location has polarity, which attracts the needle of a compass.\n\nIf you go to outer space, the compass will most likely not point north, depending on how far you are from earth. The compass will only point to the magnetic pole which has the greatest influence on it. If you are near earth, the compass will point to Magnetic North, but if you are farther away, another magnetic pole will most likely attract the compass, and it will point in that direction.\n\nHope I could help you...

Because on the little compass North actually faces up. And we refer to south as down and east/west as right/left.It's just because of the way they face. North is the up direction. Get it?

Need more info to be able to give you any sort of direction

Direction of Magnetic fields are in North To South direction\nIn a circular ring magnet, the direction is Clockwise in N-S Direction

North is one of the four cardinal directions, specifically the direction that, in Western culture, is treated as the primary direction: north is used (explicitly or implicitly) to define all other directions; the (visual) top edges of maps usually correspond to the northern edge of the territory represented, unless explicitly stated otherwise or landmarks are considered more useful for that territory than specific directions\n\n\n\nTRUE north, the direction along the earth's surface toward one pole of the earth's rotation, namely the pole that is clearly on one's left when standing at the Equator while facing the rising sun.\n\nMAGNETIC north, the direction along the earth's surface in which horizontal magnetic field strength has its most positive value (but see Flipping of planetary magnetic poles for an eventual event, so rare as to make unlikely any advance agreement on whether one or two retronyms would be involved in the replacement terminology)\n\nSouth is also  one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of North and at right angles to East and West.SO ONCE NORTH IS FIXED SOUTH IS IT'S OPPOSITE\n\nBy Western convention, the bottom side of a map is South.\n\n\nSo, the real answer to your question is that it's just a convention & has no scientific basis behind it .

your not that smart. north is not the sky, and south is not the ground. look the direction the sun rises, thats east. now turn your self 90 degrees to the left, thats north, turn another 90 degrees to the left, thats west, and where the sun sets. turn another 90 degrees left, thats south.     and most maps have a compass rose on them, it shows which way is north.\n\nyou were obvisouly NOT a boy scout

Simply answer:\n\nLongitude is "long ways around the Earth"\n\nLatitude is "Latter up the Earth"\n\nIf you are circumnavigating you are traveling along the Latitude or going around the Earth on a line.  So if you move left or right on that line your change your latitude - typically referred to as North or South.  \n\nYour longitude incidentally is always changing as you circumnavigate around the Earth.  But that changes even if you don't make a course change.  :p\n.\nOh, dah, I get it, l had it backwards, sorry, like if you go over the poles of the earth.  Okay.  Dah.  \nYou are traveling North to South or South to North.  Once you reach that point (one of the poles) it changes

All words with 3 letters have 3 letter no matter what... is this a trick question?

In navigation, Cardinal Points are North, South, West and East\n\nIn maths\nCardinal is a number, Ordinal is it's position.

its supposed to look like a sideways heart.. the more 3's are more hearts..
