Explanation

North is one of the four main directions on a compass. It is the opposite of south. When you face north, east is on your right and west is on your left. The North Pole is the northernmost point of Earth. People use “north” in travel, maps, weather reports, and geography to describe locations or movements. For example, “Go north for two miles” means move in that direction for that distance. Many countries or cities also have northern regions named after this direction.
