um....,the sun doesnt always rise in the east.
using a compass is a better idea but even a compass doesnt point to the true north.
a hand held GPS device is good but not easily available to everyone.
if in the night u can depend on pole star.
if in the day know the angle of inclination of the magneticcompass in ur place and u canfind out the true north

i'm very good at making myself sound as though i know an answer while i don't probable. It must be a journalistic high quality in my nature lol. If i don't know the thank you to respond to a question and am particularly caught i can not waste time attempting to discern it out. i'll pass onto yet another question. in many cases I attempt my ultimate to respond to questions yet I frequently % questions from my contacts fairly than general ones because of the fact i know what variety of inquiries to assume.

By using a wrist watch with an hour and minute hand. To find south point the hour hand directly to the sun. The 12 numeral will point you to the south.
You can also tell north by observing trees. Their north side being shaded from the sun oftentimes has a greenish growth on the northern side.

the sun it always rises in the east and sets in the west and if it's night look for the brightest star in the sky it's the north star so if you're facing it you're looking north
