Question

Cardinal?
For my English 3 class we have to make a newspaper creation, where we have to interview someone and write an article on it. But before we do that we have to write down the directions from out home to a local newspaper office. The directions given were "Please provide travel directions and a map from your home to your local newspaper office. Your directions should include the cardinal and ordinal directions, total distance from your home to your local newspaper office, travel time, street names, and at least two landmarks."
So my question is what is the cardinal? What does that mea

Answer 1

The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, east, south, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, E, S, W. East and west are at right angles to north and south, with east being in the direction of rotation and west being directly opposite. Intermediate points between the four cardinal directions form the points of the compass. The intermediate (intercardinal, or ordinal) directions are north-east (NE), south-east (SE), south-west (SW), and north-west (NW).

On Earth, upright observers facing north will have south behind them, east on their right, and west on their left. Most devices and methods for orientation therefore operate by finding north first, although any other direction is equally valid, if it can be reliably located. Several of these devices and methods are described below.

So what they want is like for example..." Turn right onto South Maine Street"
