Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A compass is a tool for finding direction. A simple compass is a magnetic needle mounted on a pivot, or short pin. The needle, which can spin freely, always points north. The pivot is attached to a compass card.
Detailed explanation-2: -The compass rose symbol reflects the directions of the wind. Early chartmakers devised the basic rose by indicating the direction of the four known winds–north, south, east, and west. The four winds became twelve as mariners recognized the variety of directions from which the wind actually blew.
