THE SUN
At noon, the sun is always in the south. In winter, it rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest. In the summer, it rises in the northeast and sets in the northwest. In the spring and fall, it rises in the east and sets in the west.
When the sun is visible and you have your watch with you, you can determine where the south lies. Point the hour hand toward the sun. The halfway point between the figure 12 and the hour hand will be pointing directly south.
If you do not have a watch along, but can hear the hour striking somewhere, draw a clock face on a piece of paper and proceed as if it were a watch.
