Answer:

degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If a direction is somewhere between north and east, it is measured in degrees.

This measurement will be possible thanks to the existence of geographical coordinates that are some 'imaginary lines' that help us find our location on the earth's surface. These lines are called latitude and longitude, both of which are measured in degrees.

It is like a sea battle game where you have to combine the rows and columns in order to identify where the targets are located. Geographic coordinates work the same way, you must combine the rows and columns of the planisphere to identify the locations of the planet. So the lines would be the latitudes and the columns the longitudes.
