the answer is east.
A bearing is the angle made by a direction with the line pointing North, measured in the clockwise direction. A bearing is represented as a 3-digit number. So the bearing for North is 000, North-East is 045 East is 090, South is 180 West is 270 and just short of North is 359.
YES!!! it is 360 - 117 = 243 For bearing (navigation) . Bearing of due North is bearing zero(0) . Then moving around the compass clockwise due East is bearing 090 , die South is bearing 180 and due West is bearing 270 . However, if starting at bearing zero(0) and moving ANTI-Clockwise , the first bearing is 270 , which is 90 degrees of turn. The 90 degrees in anti =clockwise is the inverse. NB For ALL bearings you quote three digits. So due East , bearing 90 is quoted as '090'. This is normal navigational practice.
compass bearing 271
I was taught that they were used on boats so they put 045 to show that 45 degrees was the way, and a 0 so that a digit was not missed out. if they put 45 it couldve been 145 but they missed the 1.
South
its East...
bearing '225' Going round the compass from north in a clockwise direction, there are 360 degrees. Bearing '000' is North bearing .090. is East bearing '180' is South bearing '270' is West. NB Bearing '360' i never used , because it is also the same as bearing ' 000' , that is North. NNB All bearings are quoted to 'three figures'. There is no such bearing asd ' 0' , nor '90'. NNNB Never read a bearing in an anti-clockwise direction.
The compass direction of travel.
It is a bearing (a direction) based on a magnetic compass reading.
North north east
East
On a compass, the direction with a bearing of 450 degrees is located in the northwest region. The standard compass measures the direction in degrees, starting from North at 0 degrees and proceeding clockwise until 360 degrees. Hence, a bearing of 450 degrees is just beyond the West direction, which is marked at 270 degrees, and points towards the northwest. ⓗⓣⓣⓟⓢ :⃝ /⃝ /⃝ⓦⓦⓦ .⃝ⓓⓘⓖⓘⓢⓣⓞⓡⓔ②④ .⃝ⓒⓞⓜ /⃝ⓡⓔⓓⓘⓡ /⃝③②⑤⑥⑤⑧ /⃝Ⓡⓐⓙⓘⓥⓑⓙⓞⓝⓐ /⃝
A compass bearing of 135 degrees points southeast.
Bearing is a way of describing direction. It is a 3 digit number (including leading zeros). A heading due North is a bearing of 000. The bearing increases clockwise, so that East is a bearing of 090, South is 180, and West is 270.
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass corresponds to due east. In compass bearings, 0 degrees represents north, 90 degrees represents east, 180 degrees represents south, and 270 degrees represents west. Therefore, a bearing of 450 degrees would be 90 degrees past due east.
The compass direction from Bermuda to Charleston, SC, is generally northwest. Specifically, the bearing is approximately 300 degrees on a compass. This direction accounts for the curvature of the Earth and the relative positions of the two locations.
Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
