In the vastness of space where there's no "up" or "down," why do we always see maps with North pointing up? Well, it's like Earth has a favorite direction, and that's North. Back in the day, cartographers decided to stick with tradition and kept North up on maps for consistency. Imagine if every map had a different "up" – total chaos! So, North became the universal compass rose, making it easier for us Earthlings to find our way around. It's a quirky cosmic convention, and hey, it works for us! 🌎🧭🌌 #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast – https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078 —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/ Tik Tok – https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Snapchat – https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960 Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
