People used the sun, stars, and special tools to find their way. Imagine you're on a boat in the middle of the ocean, there's no map or GPS. Long ago, sailors looked at the stars, especially the North Star, to know which way to go. They also used something called a compass, which always points north. It’s like having a magic friend who never gets lost!
Examples
- A sailor looks at the North Star and knows he's heading north.
- A child uses a compass in the woods and finds their way back home.
- A farmer follows the sun’s path to plow straight rows in his field.
