As you know, the Sun always sets in the west. So, this gives a way of finding the other cardinal directions too – north, south and east. But if you have a compass, you might notice that the north you find according to the Sun, and the north to which the compass points, aren’t exactly the same. The north you find with respect to the Sun is called geographic north or true north, whereas the north shown by the compass is known as magnetic north. And these two norths are different.

Geographic north lies in the direction of the North Pole – the point where Earth's axis of rotation cuts through the surface. This point marks the center of the northern hemisphere and is located in the frozen middle of the Arctic Ocean.

Magnetic north, on the other hand, is the direction of the point on Earth’s surface where Earth’s magnetic field points vertically downward. Because Earth is like a giant magnet, compasses point toward the magnetic poles. These poles are not in fixed positions. Today magnetic north is located near the geographic North Pole. In 1900, though, it was located on Canadian soil and today it’s moving towards Siberia in Russia.

Recently, i found out that what is actually near the north geographic pole is actually south magnetic pole. I used a compass and a permanent magnet. Placing a compass near a permanent magnet and comparing it to the magnetic field of earth.

wow such a concise and easy to understand video... Thanks!

straight to the point.. cleared my doubt under 2 min.

The core of the earth has a spinning torus shape of molten iron and other metals. The magnetic poles flip every 600, 000 years or so due to the Dzhanibekov effect. The centre of the earth can be almost room temperature because there is no gravity to generate pressure therefore the torus lies on the part of the core where the centrifugal force of the spinning earth matches the gravity force on the offset from the middle of the earth which only happens on the equator. The Dzhanibekov effect causes the torus to develop instability causing a flip in magnetic poles and then a turn to stability. The pressure at the center of earth is not what is currently recognized, it can be cold and solid because there is no pressure.

For fun, I have just installed a compass app on my mobile. I will never use it as my sense of direction is as bad as most or in fact all of my other senses! However, even though I am never sure where I am going, my life is never short of surprises and new experiences!
Thank you for your interesting and concise video.

Magnetic north is actually in Antarctica 😅 This video even has a true example of the proof. (0:56) + and - are the same - they just signify direction. One side pulls the field, the other pushes it. But it all flows one direction. But north polarity (+) is attracted to south polarity (-). The north direction of a compass uses the north (+) polarity of the magnet. The fact that it points toward the arctic is because that's where the southern magnetic polarity of the planet is. Look at the video 56 seconds in. North emits the field, south pulls in the field. The field flows inside the planet in one direction (toward Antarctica) outside the planet the field travels to the arctic and reenters. The same occurs with magnets but we have them labeled north and south opposite we do the planet 🤣

Isnt magnetic north pole near geological south pole?

[muzamiliqbal]

Scientists should just name geographical poles same as magnetic poles and end this confusion 🙄

[spaideman]

at least explain this with a compass... omg so little info. the printed map follow true north or magnetic ?

[shahidahmed]

Please tell me the name of place where present north pole exists

[CT]

Wrong!! It is the magnetic SOUTH that is located near the geographic North! Not the magnetic north! And our compass will point it's north arrow in that direction beause it is attracted to the magntic south!

[TheMrmartind]

It's the only pole- it's the center of a plane. Polaris is always directly above.

[sohanthtejmaganti]

I don't think whats been said in this video is right. Direction in which sunsets is not the true geographical west as the sun keeps drifting between latitudes.

[vindustin]

Question
Is the north of compass, the south magnetic pole?

[Mhang]

Geographic north = based on earths rotation axis

[Axis.Mundis.]

Try telling Killateral Damage your lies about the compass & north not being fixed magnet pole 😂😂

Nothing in this video is true or matches reality. A compass doesn’t work with 2 magnets, must be flat to function properly, has 1 fixed constant pull direction “N” & only exists to measure circles around 1 fixed center magnet.
