North and south are directed towards the north and south [[pole]]s of the [[Earth]]. The Earth's rotation defines east and west. The sun rises in the morning on east, and sets in the evening on west.

If a needle is [[magnetism|magnetised]] and allowed to move freely (for example floated on water) it will align itself with the Earth's [[magnetic field]] which is almost in the same direction with north. The direction of the needle in this situation is called [[North Magnetic Pole|magnetic north]] which differs from [[geographical north]] by few [[degree]]s.

== Cardinal directions in world cultures ==

* '''Ist''': [[Grin]] o [[Blu]]
* '''Saut''': [[Red]] laik faia
* '''West''': [[Wait]]
* '''Not''': [[Blak]]
