How to Make a Compass
1. Place a 90 cm stick on the ground and put a small rock where the tip of the shadow falls.
2. Wait ten to fifteen minutes and place a second rock at the point where the tip of the shadow has also moved.
3. Draw a line between the two points. This is an east-west line.
4. Place the tip of your left foot on the first rock and the tip of your right foot on the second rock; now you will be facing north.
🧐Anywhere on Earth, the first shadow mark is west and the second is east.
