compass definition and meaning

What is a "compass"?

A compass is a small device used to show direction. It consists of a magnetic needle that always points to the Earth's magnetic north. Compasses are commonly used for navigation, helping people find their way when traveling in unfamiliar areas. The device typically has a circular dial marked with the four main directions—north, south, east, and west—and sometimes additional markings for more precise directions. Compasses are used in activities like hiking, boating, and map reading to determine orientation and guide movement.

What is a "compass"?

A compass is a tool used for drawing circles or arcs and measuring distances on maps. It consists of two arms, one with a pointed end for placing on a surface and the other with a pencil or marker for drawing. The distance between the points can be adjusted to create circles of different sizes. Compasses are commonly used in geometry, drafting, and design for precise measurements and drawings. They are also used by surveyors and mapmakers to measure distances on maps by adjusting the compass arms to the scale of the map.
