Definition

In English, "south" is one of the main directions pointing to where the sun goes down in the sky during much of the day for people living on the Northern Hemisphere. It's directly opposite "north," and you can find it by using a compass or noticing shadows move westward casting objects slightly south-facing towards the afternoon sun.
