Answer 1

Really? When you are asked to point “down”, do you point south? If you understand which way YOU point to “down” and try to imagine someone in another location pointing “down”, then you will start to understand. Now you can do the reverse, when someone asks you to point “up”, do you point North or do you point towards the sky?
