Why the compass are oriented in different directions from different parts of the world?


Sagot :

Answer:

This works because the Earth itself has a magnetic field which is similar to that of a bar magnet (see the picture below). The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south.

Explanation:

Once you know where north is, you can figure out any other direction.
