Functionality of a compass

The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field. This represents the outer edge of the earth and is in motion and also over several thousand degrees hot. It can happen that rocks, which can also be magnetic, push themselves over this magnetic field. This can cause a compass needle to flicker or point in a completely wrong direction.

By the way, when flying, a compass is used which does not react to the disturbances in the magnetic field. This is called a gyro compass.

Furthermore, we have to distinguish between the magnetic and geographic north and south pole. By the way, the difference is in fact several hundred kilometers. Therefore, today, in the digital age, we rarely find use for a compass. Maybe when hiking, traveling to unexplored regions or diving yet.

Why a compass always points north:

First of all, let's start with a magnetic compass. This has a small movable pointer, which is called a compass needle. ... This needle is magnetic and always points approximately north. This is because the earth contains a lot of iron and therefore acts like a giant magnet itself. Better formulated: Magnets attract each other and therefore the magnetic needle is attracted by the natural magnetic attraction field of the earth.
