ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО COMPASS
Компас
Компас навигационный прибор, который показывает направления в системе отсчета которая неподвижна по отношению к поверхности Земли. Система отсчета определяет четыре основных направления - север, юг, восток и запад. Также определены промежуточные направления. Обычно на компасе отмечена диаграмма, называемая ромком, который показывает направления. Когда компас используется, роза выравнивается с реальными направлениями в системе отсчета, так, например, знак «N» на розе действительно указывает на север. Часто в дополнение к розе или иногда вместо нее на компасе показаны угловые отметки в градусах. Север соответствует нулю градусов, а углы увеличиваются по часовой стрелке, поэтому восток составляет 90 градусов, юг - 180, а запад - 270. Эти цифры позволяют компасу показывать азимуты или подшипники, которые обычно указаны в этих обозначениях. Магнитный компас был впервые изобретен как устройство предсказания еще в китайской династии Хань. Компас использовался в китайской династии Сун для военно-навигационного ориентирования на 1040-1044 гг. И использовался для морского судоходства 1111-1117 гг.
