Hello and welcome to gcequiz.com. Today we are going to be talking about compasses and their directions and what the KS1 Geography exams need from pupils in this aspect of compass and direction. 

Have you ever found your way by using a compass? Do you know all the major points on a compass? Do you know where the sun rises from? Which way is south? These are just a few questions that pupils are often asked in Geography. 

We are going to proceed by answering a few of these questions but we will start by answering this very pertinent question, What is a compass? A compass in a device that makes use of a magnetized arrow to show the direction of the magnetic North of the Earth. On a compass, there are four major directions; North, South, East and West. 

The sun is the largest object in the solar system and it rises from the East and sets in the West.
