The first ever compass was made in China by a man named William Thomson, in 1907.
The direction of the compass is N (North) E (East) S (South) W (West). A saying to remember these is "Never Eat Sour Watermelon".
One thing that affects the direction of the compass in the placement of the arrows.
Jobs like Mining, Military and Pilots still use compasses
Sports that use compasses are Hunting, Sailing and Orienteering.
