What is the southwest direction?

The southwest direction is based on the principle of going up north, down south, left west, right east, so the lower left direction is the southwest direction.

You can watch the sun during the day. 6-8 am in the east, around noon in the south (possibly overhead in summer), 3-5 pm in the west, around sunset in the northwest, between late morning and noon in the southeast, and between noon and early afternoon in the southwest.

In addition, at night, you can see that Polaris is in the north and always runs in the south, and then you can judge the southwest direction.

Direction determination method:

The general orientation method: face the map "up north and down south, left west and right east".

Determine the direction according to the beacon: generally, the arrow pointing to the beacon on the map indicates the true north direction.

Determine the direction according to the latitude and longitude network: longitude indicates the north-south direction, and latitude indicates the east-west direction.
