CHE SIGNIFICA COMPASS IN INGLESE

Bussola

Compass

Una bussola è uno strumento di navigazione che mostra le direzioni in un riferimento di riferimento stazionario rispetto alla superficie della Terra. Il quadro di riferimento definisce le quattro direzioni cardinali: nord, sud, est e ovest. Sono definite indicazioni intermedie. Di solito, un diagramma chiamato bussola rosa, che mostra le indicazioni, è contrassegnato sulla bussola. Quando la bussola è in uso, la rosa è allineata con le direzioni reali nella cornice di riferimento, per cui, ad esempio, il contrassegno "N" sulla rosa punta veramente a nord. Frequentemente, oltre alla rosa o talvolta al posto di essa, sulla bussola vengono visualizzati i contrassegni angoli in gradi. Nord corrisponde a zero gradi e gli angoli aumentano in senso orario, quindi l'est è 90 gradi, il sud è 180 e l'ovest è 270. Questi numeri consentono alla bussola di mostrare azimutte o cuscinetti, che sono comunemente riportati in questa notazione. La bussola magnetica fu inventata per la prima volta come un dispositivo per la divinazione già nella Dinastia Han cinese. La bussola è stata usata nella dinastia Song Dynasty Cina dai militari per la navigazione orienteering entro il 1040-1044 ed è stata utilizzata per la navigazione marittima entro il 1111 al 1117.

A compass is a navigational instrument that shows directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the Earth. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions – north, south, east, and west. Intermediate directions are also defined. Usually, a diagram called a compass rose, which shows the directions, is marked on the compass. When the compass is in use, the rose is aligned with the real directions in the frame of reference, so, for example, the "N" mark on the rose really points to the north. Frequently, in addition to the rose or sometimes instead of it, angle markings in degrees are shown on the compass. North corresponds to zero degrees, and the angles increase clockwise, so east is 90 degrees, south is 180, and west is 270. These numbers allow the compass to show azimuths or bearings, which are commonly stated in this notation. The magnetic compass was first invented as a device for divination as early as the Chinese Han Dynasty. The compass was used in Song Dynasty China by the military for navigational orienteering by 1040-1044, and was used for maritime navigation by 1111 to 1117.

Che consiste di due braccia, unite a un'estremità, un braccio del quale funge da perno o punto di riferimento stazionario, mentre l'altro è esteso o descrive un cerchio. La bussola è anche limiti o portata.
