Rumo

Definição

O rumo é a direção horizontal de deslocamento ou de um alvo, medido em graus no sentido horário a partir do norte (0°/360°), com leste a 90°, sul a 180° e oeste a 270°.

Explicação

Bearings are used in navigation, surveying, and military operations to communicate direction unambiguously. A 'true bearing' references geographic north, while a 'magnetic bearing' references magnetic north, which differ by the local magnetic declination. Sailors and pilots routinely correct between the two: in eastern North America, magnetic north lies roughly 10–15° west of true north.
