WHAT DOES NORTHEAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

northeast

Points of the compass

The points of the compass are points on a compass, specifically on the compass rose, marking divisions of the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, West. The number of points may be only the 4 cardinal points, or the 8 principal points adding the intercardinal directions northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. In meteorological usage further intermediate points are added to give the sixteen points of a wind compass. Finally, at the most complete in European tradition, are found the full thirty-two points of the mariner's compass. In ancient China 24 points of the compass were used. The mariner's practice of boxing the compass is the action of naming all thirty-two points of the compass in order clockwise. The names of intermediate points are formed by the initials of the cardinal directions and their intermediate ordinal directions, and are very handy to refer to a heading in a general or colloquial fashion, without having to resort to computing or recalling degrees. For most applications, the minor points have been superseded by degrees measured clockwise from North.

Definition of northeast in the English dictionary

The first definition of northeast in the dictionary is the point of the compass or direction midway between north and east, 45° clockwise from north. Other definition of northeast is of or denoting the northeastern part of a specified country, area, etc. Northeast is also situated in, proceeding towards, or facing the northeast.
