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.
