Восток




У этого термина существуют и другие значения, см. Восток (значения).



Восток на розе ветров


Восто́к — сторона света, в направлении которой вращается Земля. Направление на восток перпендикулярно направлениям на север и юг, то есть на географические полюса Земли, и противоположно направлению на запад. Направление на восток соответствует +90° по геодезическому азимуту и −90° — по астрономическому.


Первоначально, скорее всего, это слово обозначало «восход», а впоследствии значение изменилось.


Русское обозначение востока — В, международное — E (от east).


В дни равноденствий Солнце восходит ровно на востоке.


На современных картах восток, как правило, находится справа.
