How do we know that north america is in the north and south america is in the south? you could say to use a compass but those are just made up term. maybe north america is really in the south. is this just europeans assuming they are on top and making all of their maps like that. even if you go to the moon and look at the earth if you see north america "upside down" and in the south, you would just assume that you are on the south pole of the moon. maybe the earth is really upside down, or maybe it spins sideways. how can we figure this out?

OK well, geographic north is actually the magnetic south, while the geographic south is actually the magnetic north. The North Pole (located on top) is actually magnetically south. These are just man-made terms standardised so everyone knows what everyone else is talking about.
