How you will understand the directions with a clock only?I thought you meant that you will use the clock and the sun to figure it out that;s why i asked,But since sun is a star and it is night ,i cant be Doesnt Sun consider as a star? Well, it's nighttime, so you shouldn't see the Sun. The Sun is a star indeed, and it didn't occur to me the moon is not a star. Supposedly you could d uce the cardinals from the hour and the moon position? I only asked because the person above me said that she would take the clock to use the time of day to figure out the directions,But the sun is a star ,you cant understand the directions ,because prisoners cant read stars.
